There might be a reason it's impossible to find a picture of a U.S. President playing chess. Not to underestimate the Pentagon, which probably does have a few decent chess players notwithstanding their mentally challenged commanders in chief, but Machetera's bets are still with the Latin Americans.
It's not hard at all to find a picture of el Che or Fidel playing chess. Publicly.
You can even re-live Fidel's game with Filiberto Terrazas here.

1. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have lost their operational capacity.
2. It has managed to neutralize the Evo Morales government through the creation of a parallel state in the four provinces associated with "Camba Nation."
3. Its successes in Colombia and Bolivia set the state to begin the checkmate against the governments of Hugo Chávez and Rafael Correa. This is the reason for the growing military provocations by Uribe's troops, the U.S. military forces in the Caribbean, and the reactivation of the Fourth Imperial Fleet.
