Breaking: Bush challenges Gen. Clark to chess match ....

[TruthIsAll]

pResident Bush, a Harvard/Yale MBA (C average) graduate, has just challenged Wesley Clark (Rhodes Scholar; first in his class at West Point) to a chess match to determine who has the superior intellect for planning military strategy in the unending war on terrorism.

Karl Rove, the Bush advisor, has stipulated one condition: that the match be conducted remotely over the Internet, with no cameras present.

Clark is pondering whether to accept the challenge, fearing that Bush will employ IBM's Deep Blue to calculate his moves for him.

1. Doesn't that mean that Clark could employ a "helper"...

...as well? I mean, if its remote with no cameras. Besides, I don't believe Bush knows a rook from a pawn.

2. Pawns

5. That would be the problem with a Bush chess match

His strategy has a fatal flaw: You only have eight pawns. After that, you have to use more important pieces, and you have to use strategy. Bush would exhaust his pawns, and then as you wipe out his rooks, knights, bishops, and queen, he would tell you that your elimination of all of his pieces is indicitive of the success of his strategy. Then, just as you are about to take his king, his only remaining piece, he will inform you that he has won, and taking his king would be treason.
