You Will Never Walk Alone....

Fans of Everton and Liverpool always debated who he supported. In an interview in 2008, he cleared the air.
"Here's the deal: my father was born in Everton, my family are officially Evertonians, so if it comes down to a derby match or an FA Cup final between the two, I would have to support Everton. But after a concert at Wembley Arena I got a bit of a friendship with Kenny Dalglish, who had been to the gig and I thought 'You know what? I am just going to support them both because it's all Liverpool.'"

Scachs d'amor

Isabella, the Queen of Castille, a 15th century monarch, was one of the most powerful leaders of history. It was due to her and Ferdinand, King of Sicily and Aragon, her husband that in the later years Spain became a united entity. The Americans should be thankful to them as they encouraged Columbus to take a voyage to India, whose folly later became a legend.
During her rein a poem was written, titled 'Scachs d'amor'.The subject was love which was expressed through a metaphor. It consisted of sixty four stanzas, nine verse each. It's believed that this poem set the modern rules of a game and Isabella's grand stature became a major influence on it.

What was the metaphor used in the poem which bore the stamp of Isabella's strength?
