If my life were a chess game,  I would say that my opponent was the unknown society- you never know when the enemy is near. But sometimes, even the enemy forget that you also have weapons. They forget that you have your own pawns, the people you know that you consider nice, that help you a lot and defend you from attacks. The family would be the rooks, since they protect, they take care of you no matter what and no matter from who, they will always be with you. The friends, the real ones, would be the knights, taking big steps for you, always taking care of you, always watching your back and your front. The bishops would be those little things you love to do, that always keep you away, somehow, from the problems. This would be enough but people tend to make a mistake every single time, a single mistake: if my life were a chess game and everything would be like this, I wouldn't be the queen since the queen it's just a strong piece, I would be the king, for the king is the game and the game is my life.
