Mastering your pride

Is playing chess with Satan,

Your soul be both kings.

Thank you very much, and I don't even play.

Chess brought me here an old habit of mine. And the saying in the circles of course is "playing chess wit the devil" but your twist implies wisdom as the kings personify the soul.

Very clever.

Thankyou
