Torres, peones y caballos ¡a la carga!. No dejen que nos capturen a nadie; su deber es protegerme. Tú, mi reina, quédate aquí conmigo, que todos nos van a cuidar, ¡Alfil! Dime qué ves, aconséjame cuál pieza mover. Y tú, lector ¿te atreves a retarme? El rey. ¿Has oído hablar del ajedrez? ¿Conoces el tablero, sus piezas y la manera en que se mueven?

Rooks, pawns, and cavalry… charge! Do not allow a single piece to be taken captive. You, my queen, must stay beside me. They are all here to protect us! Bishop, tell me what you see? What piece should I move? Reader, do you accept this challenge? Have you heard of chess? Do you know how the board is used and when to move its pieces?
