But never underestimate
the powers of the pawn
who can promote into a queen
>or moving humbly up the board,
killing on the side,
outpriest the priest, and leave the knight
>and trip the elevated rook
to bring it crashing down,
and nudge the misanthropic queen
>and stop before great Caesar's throne,
a tiny regicide,
and watch a cornered monarch fall,
