Obama and I need to play Chess sometime

[Clintonista2]

I think I've finally found someone who may be worse at the game than me.

1. Are we talking strategery here?

Or just basic disappointment on his obvious lack of support for GLBT issues?

Which, by the way, is pissing me off too, as a straight progressive.

2. What strategy?

3. He plays without a queen and quickly sacrifices all his pawns.

How hard could it be to be to win against that? :shrug:

5. You're just not smart enough to appreciate the brilliance of the strategy. n/t

[Metric System]

6. Go fish!

7. Perhaps he plays Go

It's an entirely different game with a different philosophy.

The game is played by two players who alternately place black and white stones (playing pieces, now usually made of glass or plastic) on the vacant intersections of a grid of 19×19 lines. The object of the game is to control a larger portion of the board than the opponent. A stone or a group of stones is captured and removed if it has no empty adjacent intersections, the result of being completely surrounded by stones of the opposing color.

And he might have read and learned strategy from Sun Tzu's excellent book The Art of War .

8. The name of that game is "Expediency".

And it's the only game you can win every time, depending on what you are willing to sacrifice.

9. Most excellent analogy. nt
