Analysis of The Queen disguised as a Pawn
Jamie Tierney 1991 (Cardiff)
Light Pawn advances forward
Forming the front line
Battle for centre authored
Reinforcements ready to shine
Protecting important square method
Opposition already on decline
Breaking through opponents structure
Allowing penetrating powerful play
Rooks and Bishops smother
Pawn continues its slay
Isolated encircling enemy cluster
Believing removed from fray
Shadow casted majestic crown
Couldn’t believe their eyes
Knight knocked falling down
Pressing onward, all rise
Left confused with frown
End, Queen reveals guise
Within spiritual sea space
Shark moving any direction
Those can’t swim brace
Tactically executing winning combination
Promoting pieces with grace
Checkmate, King no exception
