The Chess Guru

Grandmaster

By McEstus Adeshina OshinowoPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Carving and hewing out the melanin wood can be stressful

Sweat breaks out in me but I am not moved

Its a mission that must be accomplished

The sheer art of doing it alone, gives me an inner joy!

As the piece gradually takes shape, I am like “Eureka!!!”

Putting the finishing touch climaxes my emotion

The outcome is a masterpiece for both the game and a home decor

Its a game for the kings and the gurus

Its a battle of wits and strategies

Its a mind game and the most powerful weapon is to have the next move

My opening is like a book, my middle game is magical and my endgame is like a machine

In all that I do, I try not to sweat the techniques

At the end, I mean the very end, I am left mentally satisfied
