Good evening steemians. It is your boy 
The image to be illustrated below.
The image above is obviously that of a chess game. I was tempted to to illustrate the image for what it is but i thought on the other hand i thought the image might be representing something. I gave it a deep thought and i came up with an idea. i asked myself what was the goal of the game of chess? probably i will get what i need from the answer, which i did though.
According to HERE
Chess is a game played between two opponents on opposite sides of a board containing 64 squares of alternating colors. Each player has 16 pieces: 1 king, 1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, and 8 pawns. The goal of the game is to checkmate the other king. Checkmate happens when the king is in a position to be captured (in check) and cannot escape from capture.
I do not not really know much about the game of chess because i do not play it and i have never played it before. I searched online for more knowledge on the game called chess. From what i learnt from what i searched, i discovered that the game is a game of competition as any other game is but the point i want to drive at is that the game is a game of battle that will lead to the capturing of one king in the game by another.
I want to relate this to life. The characters in the game are human beings. The way we run our day to day activities is just like that of the chess game. We always want to be ahead of one another and we go extra miles to do that.
For example
When boarding a commercial bus in lagos at a rush hour. Then it does not matter who came first. Then you are already thinking of how to chance the other person and get into the boss before him or her.
In the game of chess, one has to be careful so that he does not make a wrong move because that is what his opponent will use against him .
Another example to prove that life is about competition is that in a DSTV booth where they show football matches. You will notice that those that come late will be looking for someone that mistakenly stand up from his sit o that they would sit there. Why should this be? It is the game of chess in humans. we are always looking to take advantage of another person's mistake and use it to our advantage.
Also in our place of work we are always competing for promotions looking for another person's mistake so that we can take his promotion or beat him to the promotion. Even in the family, there is always battle of who to decide or take bigger share or who owns something
It happens everywhere. It is just the way humans are
