This song uses the game of chess as a playful metaphor for racial and class warfare. The author calls himself "el peon de negras" (black pawn) and describes his struggle on the board against the white army to become the king's pawn. Despite all his victories, he is still a pawn and the only way to freedom is revolution. He also notes that if he is taken out of the "game" (i.e. life), we should not mourn because there are no social classes or racial segregation in the afterlife.
