Isaac Asimov really had it right.....

HI, I think that's what it means. No bad things get u have to keep on trucking & never give up.

I think it is referring to the fact that even if one side loses the pieces go on with their lives rather than ceasing to mean anything. To me it is kind of like the fact that, from the losing perspective, life goes on after you are gone.

I think I can agree. We are always on the lookout for a way around or through. We keep using our different options, and we have so many more than just a few moves like in chess.

hi celticeagle my grandfa used to say to me quitters never win and winners never quit so I guess it mean you will go on trying and you will win some and lose some but you will' keep on keeping on. which is where my son and I are right now and am hoping and even praying that 2011 will be a whole different ball game with some home runs for my son and I

uuummm, i think he could have been referring to reincarnation. he did believe in that you know. but you could be right. he could have been talking about lifes struggles.

I take it the same way you do. I think that it means that at our lowest point we still move on. Even after defeat...there is still a game.

When one is in checkmate one has no options left on the game board. When one is in check one may find a way out by moving said piece (the Queen) out of the direction of the attack. I think Issac may have been alluding to the fact that in life we always have options, even if they may not always be in full view. Namaste-Anora
