Episode IV, A NEW HOPE

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy….

"Life is not a game but it's full of players (and pawns)"

"My poetry is a game. My life is a game. But I am not a game." — Federico Garcia Lorca

"Life is the most amazing game. Play hard with a deep love so that you may enjoy it." — Debasish Mridha

"Whatever you are doing in the game of life, give it all you've got." — Norman Vincent Peale

"Remember you have to be comfortable. Golf is not a life or death situation. It's just a game and should be treated as such. Stay loose." — Chi Chi Rodriguez

"Life is a game, play it ... Life is too precious, do not destroy it." — Mother Teresa

"Part of playing the game of life is you're going to have some losses." — Joe Gibbs

"Football is an honest game. It's true to life. It's a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life." — Joe Namath

"The entire ball game, in terms of both the exam and life, was what you gave attention to vs. what you willed yourself to not." — David Foster Wallace

"For me, Chess is life and every game is like a new life. Every chess player gets to live many lives in one lifetime." — Eduard Gufeld

"If you wanted to be the best then you had to swallow your pride and become a student of the game first." — Jon Osborne

"Prereading is a game changer. It changed my life. Everyone is smarter when they have seen the material before. You will be too." — Peter Rogers

Sometime rhetoric was just
another way to lie and impress persons,
and he knew this — Haidji

No, this isn't about Barry Soetoro's alter ego. It is about kings and pawns. Of course, Barry is no king regardless of his 400-person travel caravan, but he did sleep in a Holiday Inn and bowed down to one.

Thank you MKD. This is a Fredthebear collection split. Most of the Sicilians were reassigned to make room.

"Chess first of all teaches you to be objective." — Alexander Alekhine

"Among a great many other things that chess teaches you is to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good. It trains you to think before grabbing and to think just as objectively when you're in trouble." — Stanley Kubrick

"Chess helps you to concentrate, improve your logic. It teaches you to play by the rules, take responsibility for your actions, how to problem solve in an uncertain environment." — Garry Kasparov

"Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game." — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

"To avoid losing a piece, many a person has lost the game." — Savielly Tartakower

"Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter." ― Winston S. Churchill

The Use Of Knowledge

Between two citizens
A controversy grew.
The one was poor, but much he knew:
The other, rich, with little sense,
Claimed that, in point of excellence,
The merely wise should bow the knee
To all such moneyed men as he.
The merely fools, he should have said;
For why should wealth hold up its head,
When merit from its side has fled?
"My friend," said Bloated-purse,
To his reverse,
"You think yourself considerable.
Pray, tell me, do you keep a table?
What comes of this incessant reading,
In point of lodging, clothing, feeding?
It gives one, true, the highest chamber,
One coat for June and for December,
His shadow for his sole attendant,
And hunger always in the ascendant.
What profits he his country, too,
Who scarcely ever spends a sou –
Will, haply, be a public charge?
Who profits more the state at large,
Than he whose luxuries dispense
Among the people wealth immense?
We set the streams of life a-flowing;
We set all sorts of trades a-going.
The spinner, weaver, sewer, vender,
And many a wearer, fair and tender,
All live and flourish on the spender –
As do, indeed, the reverend rooks
Who waste their time in making books."
These words, so full of impudence,
Received their proper recompense.
The man of letters held his peace,
Though much he might have said with ease.
A war avenged him soon and well;
In it their common city fell.
Both fled abroad; the ignorant,
By fortune thus brought down to want,
Was treated everywhere with scorn,
And roamed about, a wretch forlorn;
Whereas the scholar, everywhere,
Was nourished by the public care.

Let fools the studious despise;
There's nothing lost by being wise.

You might have heard the saying,
"At the end of the game, the King and the Pawn go in the same box." but depending on the moves you make, one of them is ultimately the winner. One of them stays on the board longer, does more for his team. Let's extend that phrase.
"At the end of the game, the King and the Pawn go in the same box. But the game is decided by the moves they make." I assume everyone understands Chess, but for those who don't, That's okay, too. I'll explain one more thing about it. The Pawn can only move in one direction.
The King can move wherever he wants.
This remains true unless the Pawn decides to go on the offensive To take life by his own hands
A variety of options open up to him
Whereas then, the King is limited by his options. He sees nothing new, and can merely advance or
Retreat
In the same directions he always has.
And he very well may retreat, because when he falls, it's all over. The Pawn, though? The Pawn can never retreat. He can only move forward And if he makes it to the other side,
He becomes a Queen. The most prominent, powerful piece, It goes in the same box but it can determine the outcome of the entire game. A single piece can determine if, and how any other piece will fall. This is true of the Queen, of the King, of the Pawn. This is true of the Knights and the Bishops and the Rooks and every single piece, and so with every thing equally significant, let's strip away the titles and just look at our actions, because it isn't our title that defines us. It's how we play the game.
Sometimes that means we have all the power.
Sometimes that means we have none.
Sometimes we are alone.
Sometimes we are together.
But at the end of the day, we all go in the same box.

In the game of life, what we call ourselves really doesn't matter.

"Those who approach life like a child playing a game, moving and pushing pieces, possess the power of kings." — Heraclitus

"Every man needs a women, when his life in a trouble. Just like a game of chess, queen protect the king." — Anuj Kr. Thakur

"He needed fresh air and sunshine. A walk in the woods and afterward a good book to read by the fire. Yeah, that was the life." — Josh Lanyon

"The great thing about reading is that it broadens your life." — George R R Martin
