Sometimes the ground is empty.. I say that chessboard... those black and white squares... you can't play at all! Even if you want to be a good player...!!!
It is strange? Yes, it's very strange, that empty land is very startling! It's the king who wants the empty land for himself/herself like this... so you don't even have a chance to play! Simple as that!...all of the pieces that one day could have played the most exciting game among those black and white squares...are now just a pile of bones! That king, yes that king!
