A chess song by Henry Whitlock
Here is Henry's song (sing to the tune of Skip to my Lou)
I know chess tricks how about you? I know chess tricks how about you? I know chess tricks how about you? They help me play my best!
I protect my pawns because they may become queens
I use knights before bishops in most openings
I castle my king early to keep him safe
Both my rooks want to wait; they can protect me from a back-rank mate
I hide my king till the queens are gone
Using my rooks together makes them strong
On a pawn’s first move-if it’s a jump--I always think of en passant
I find a good move and then I always look for a better one
I think chess is kingly fun!.
Not only is Henry good at writing chess songs, but he is also quite the artist.
Below is a piece of his chess art that won first place at an art camp last year.
