The tension is doubled
As the the opponent plays
A keen move based in the realm
Of sound logic and chess theory
A dominant knight
Forking what appears to be
A branch of the family tree
Queen, Bishop, Castle
He thinks he has it made
Oppositional pieces
At his mercy or so it appears
But the Magician from Riga
Did not travel so far to play
An opponets game
He 'Leads him into a deep
dark forest, where 1+1=3,
and the path out is only wide
enough for one.'
The tension is swiftly cut
As an improbable pawn
Move makes his grand
Scheme apparent
The opponent resigns
And the reward is a prize
Of brilliancy
