Anita took Lee's hand in hers, "Lee, sometimes a Pawn is enough to change the whole game, and those who ignore its importance are liable to lose their game." Anita pressed Lee's trembling hand from time to time to reassure her. "I may not know them, but I promise I will not let them win."

Almost. I sit at a corner table and pull out my notebook. Instead of homework, I draw a chessboard, marking the pieces. Pawn: Me. Small, expendable, but underestimated. King: Chief Langston. The one I ultimately need to take down. Queen: Jace. Dangerous, powerful, capable of ending me if I’m not careful. The rest fall into place. Marissa and her followers as rooks—strong but predictable. Teachers as bishops—slicing diagonally, always at angles you don’t expect. The rest of the students? Pawns like me, though most of them don’t know it.

He had strategy but no restraint. And right now, it’d cost him. With one swift move, my pawn - docile, useless, weakest of the lot – was placed strategically next to his queen at the back of the board, and in seconds, I switched out their positions as the rules of chess demanded. Queening the pawn. The weakest piece becomes the most powerful in mere seconds. “Queen.” I called. Roma’s mouth fell agape, a low cuss escaping his lips. Once again, a slow mischievous smile graced my lips.

He asked worriedly. I shook my head and explained to him. “My back pain is killing me right now, it’s the side effect of being pregnant,” I said. He nodded looking in relief that it was not serious or whatsoever. Then we heard a yelling voice from downstairs, both of our foreheads creased and we looked confused. Tobi walked by my side downstairs when we got downstairs, we heard this yelling voice from the outside. “What’s going on outside?” Tobi asked the guards. “There’s someone named Calvin on the gate, asking for Miss Andrea.

"Because in that game, I was just a pawn your father used to strike at the Shaw family while making his disobedient daughter finally give up hope. "He had you find me, trap me with love and cheap tenderness, and finally turn me into a worthless nobody who couldn't survive without you. That way, he could humiliate the Shaw family and me, and show you how fragile your so-called love really was. Too bad he miscalculated." I looked down at her from above. "He never imagined that the pawn he'd sharpened with his own hands would one day turn around and completely overturn his entire game." Tiffany collapsed to the ground. I did not spare her another glance and walked straight into the glittering b

My lips parted, the first word forming on my tongue, when my phone buzzed in my pocket. The vibration startled me, sharp and sudden against my thigh, and for a moment I just stared down at my lap. I'd forgotten I even had my phone with me, forgotten about everything except the weight in my chest and the rain and Kyle's face when he walked away. My hand moved automatically, pulling the phone out with fingers that felt numb and clumsy. The screen lit up, displaying a text from an unknown number. There were no words, just an image. A black pawn. My entire body went still, every muscle locking up as I stared at that little chess piece on my screen. The king that had appeared on my doorstep weeks

Murphy pinned the game and finally defeated the game master, earning a loud applause from all the Alphas and a big smile on Ryan ’s face. When he returned I embraced him happily knowing he was already ahead of everyone in the game. “Now go ahead and join me as well” He said and I turned to the grand master, taking in a deep breath as I approached the grandmaster. “Kindly choose your color” the Game master asked me I looked at the two colors and this time, allowed my intuition to lead me, thus I picked the black piece. The game master initiated the first move which was the first pawn that laid at the front of his king and in return, she moved the first pawn that laid at the front of her knigh

But on that table, there was a giant chessboard, with pieces set up for a game. I walked closer, admiring the intricacy of the board and remembering the two chess pieces I had found in Lachlan’s bedroom. They obviously weren’t from this set as these weren’t crystal. These pieces were made of polished oak wood, even the smallest of piece— a pawn was as big as my finger. "You play?” I asked. Olezka leaned against the table, looking at me with a half-smile. “Yes. Do you know how to play?” I grinned back, a challenge lighting up inside me. “Let’s find out.”

Maybe he was just a pawn in a game he didn’t understand. But one thing was clear—he would never be a looser; Just like the game of chess—a pawn is still a queen.

the explanation seemed vague to her "I will now explain each piece to you; Pawns move one square forward in a straight line. They cannot move horizontally, diagonally or backwards. An exception to this is if a pawn is yet to be moved during the game. If a pawn has not yet moved, it may be moved two squares forward as a single move. Both squares must be empty. The player can also choose to move the piece a single square. The only time a pawn may move diagonally is when capturing an opponent’s piece.
