[GREGOR]<br>
Each game of chess means there's one less<br>
Variation left to be played<br>
Each day got through means one or two<br>
Less mistakes remain to be made.<br>
<br>
Not much is known<br>
Of early days of chess beyond a fairly vague report<br>
That fifteen hundred years ago two princes fought,<br>
Though brothers, for a Hindu throne.<br>
<br>
Their mother cried<br>
For no one really likes their offspring fighting to the death<br>
She begged them stop the slaughter with her every breath<br>
But sure enough one brother died<br>
Sad beyond belief<br>
She told her winning son<br>
"You have caused such grief --<br>
I can't forgive this evil thing you've done."<br>
<br>
He tried to explain<br>
How things had really been<br>
But he tried in vain<br>
No words of his would satisfy the queen.<br>
<br>
And so he asked the wisest men he knew<br>
The way to lessen her distress<br>
They told him he'd be pretty certain to impress<br>
By using model soldiers on <br>
A chequered board to show it was his brother's fault<br>
They thus invented chess.<br>
