Attack!
Two separate royal families are always in battle,
Centuries long has been their feud.
There is a king,
but the queen has power,
and small as they are,
their armies are strong.
They cannot fight without their general,
he chooses every attack there is to be.
And I'm quite sure you have heard of their eternal battle;
What is it? Could you please tell me?

Our battles are surely long and great,they finish when one general utters,

"Well written, but whenever a riddle talks about battles and kings, you know the answer will be chess " Especially with the queen line couldn't be easier unless you wrote about the board.
Great teaser for the younger ones,way to easy for the older.
Nice, enjoyable teaser, easy but well written. Thanks for posting.
Very nice teaser, well written!
The answer should be "The game of chess" rather than "A chess game", because a single game of chess usually isn't centuries long.

Got it by the 2nd line, but nevertheless, well done!
Fun and well-written!
Thanks for all the nice comments!
great quiz.....the hint made me get it in a flash!
Until I saw the hint I thought it was a colony of bees. They have king and queens also, and the queen rules. So it could have been!

you guyz are very brilliant, i beleave that after some few exercises on brain tweezers i will be a smart thinker, i didin't do maths at high school, so i kind of think slowly.
Wow! I was clueless after reading it once, but after reading it twice, it was obvious.
I got it but not without the hint. Liked it though I usually do like them I mean.
