What happened? (Posted on 2003-11-12)

30 men with ladies two
Gathered for a festive do.
Dressed quite formal, black and white,
Yet movement turned to nasty fight.

What's going on?

The two ladies are the two queens (black and white) while the other 30 pieces, with 15 each for black and white, are the other chess pieces.

Thus, the given riddle describes a chess match in progress.
