Life is about getting to the eight rank and getting promoted, with a lot of help from other pieces.

But one question... what happens to the pawns that stop at the seventh rank and wind up controlling the board more than those that promote at the eigth rank? (It's a real psychological effect)

In the opening you develop yourself. Then, complications arise with much tension. As the game goes on, you simplify by discarding pieces you no longer find necessary. Along the way questionable moves were made. You vacillate between continuing or resigning.
That's all I have so far

Nobody can play perfectly, but the closer one comes, the greater the chance that they are a cheating jerk who ought to be burned at stake for making us feel inferior.
There are kings, and there are pieces that die.
I fail at it.
You probably won't mate until at least forty. (and even then in a boring position)

I'll get some water.
Is that by Seinfeldian definition or non-Seinfeldian definition?
We are all just knights, with wet, hungry mouths, looking for the nearest tasty fork, in dire need of a greater guidance.
Amen.
When I castled, my rook fell off the table.
I've been forked so much I had to get drunk.
I'll take the poisoned pawn when I'm able,
Been in perpetual check for almost a month.

I don't think I know the Seinfeld definition. If you're on the wagon, that means you're not drinking. If you're off the wagon, that means the settlers left without you, cause you're in a saloon somewhere. If you fell off the wagon, that means you were going with the settlers, but you smuggled some hooch, got drunk, and fell off the back of the wagon, where you were hiding
Use only chess terminology (names of pieces, moves, even openings and chess player names, etc.) in your answer. Yes, chess could somehow be used a metaphor for life. ;)
So, what do you think is the purpose of life? :)
