I am internally debating which chess piece is more me. The bishop is an intriguing option as I am a devout Christian; however, the knight is more my style. I feel as if I am more connected to the knight. I hope I can
a) get help in my debate and
b) learn what others would be if they were a chess piece.
I would be a king because I'm not about touching other men
Let me clarify, I would be king because kings cant touch other kings, and touching other kings would be gay and you know me, I'm not about that gay shi
Well, Max, the question deqends strongly on one conditional: What happens if I get taken? If being taken is something undesirably, I certainly would want to be king for best survival chances.
I always ask myself a similar question when I read the first Harry Potter book. Clearly, in a wizards chess context, Ron is endangering his friends and himself by making them knights and bishops, where making them king and probably rooks or non centre pawns would have given them better survival chances, or so I think.
The pawn has the most potential.
The knight has the jumping ability.
The queen is very influential. (jk: but only a woman.)
The king is the leader, but very vulnerable.
The bishop has limited abilities.
This is the order I would choose.
I would not want to be a chess piece.
I would be Fufullo the f pawn,no doubt about that.
Backward & isolated pawn.
(in German we call the pawn „Bauer“ which means farmer as well, so it’s probably more funny like „retarded and isolated farmer“)
I would like to be prince Joey or the old woman or the serpent.
The bishop, who can go far, but only on a set path which may be irrelevant or misleading.
The knight- on the rim which knows that it's dim there yet goes there deliberately.
The queen, which can go in any direction it wishes, but wanders, misplaced, lost in the margins, in the place it should not be, so as to identify where it should be.
The king who didn't castle out of both fear and laziness.
The rook that tried to escape too early and was eaten by the bishop like Icarus who flew too close to the sun despite what his father had told him, which was: "Not to wish to see too soon – As long as one lives through an experience, one must surrender to the experience and shut one's eyes instead of becoming an observer immediately. For that would disturb the good digestion of the experience : instead of wisdom one would acquire indigestion."
