The Bride Stripped Bare
Reti opening
Or Pirc defense?
It generally leads to
Closed positions in a classical system:
No one questions what is vogue.
We're nothing more than pawns
--the cat's paw--
Familiar with all sorts
Of unpleasantries.
The Queen Bride,
So modern and comely,
She can do as she please
Until her game runs out.
Pawn to f4.
Your King is not long for this world.
Better learn a new strategy, stat.
The lookouts inform
The time hath come
To steal her majesty's
New clothes,
And pretend not to see
What we see.
For whatever words we may use
To clothe our fears,
The fabric cannot protect
Us from them.
