QUEEN'S GAMBIT By Promise Olamilekan Odejide

The Queen is regarded the strongest piece on the board, just like lionesses in the jungle. she has the ability and competent enough to move any number of squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Each player starts the game with one queen, placed in the middle of the first rank next to the king. The queen moves like the rook and bishop combined. Unless capturing, the queen must move to an unoccupied square; and it cannot jump over pieces. The queen captures on the same path it moves, by landing on the square of the opposing piece.

In same vein, a wise man protect his queen in the game of life in order to get the nine points over his enemies, the more he defend his queen, his castle becomes impenetrable for the adversaries but a ludicrous man will concentrate on the knights, bishops, and rooks, they are not as advantageous as the queen.

Your queen brings power and position but the bishops, knights, rooks, and the pawns which they as your friends, your co-workers and your advisers are expendable.

Kings, Protect what has been designed to help you win in game of life, Do not kill or slander your queen and dismantle anything that attempts to kill her, if she is gone away from your side, both your dignity, honors and power become worthless.

Besides, Not every ladies are trained to be queen, some are sent by your adversaries to check and reveal your secret to them for you to be checkmated.

Instead of accepting this lady(ies) into your castle, train a pawn to become a faithful and courageous queen like Esther and be rest assured that you will always have victory at every move.

And while looking for a Queen to build your castle with, take your time to select the lady you will be proud to hold hands in public while celebrating your success.

Furthermore, to be a queen, there are diverse historic ladies to emulate, one of them is the virtuous woman who has a gentle and quiet spirit that is precious in God's sight. She is humble and not aggressive; her emotions are spirit controlled. She understands that being peaceful is not a weakness; rather it is putting into use the feminine power that God bestowed upon her at creation.
