1. The King has five pawns and a rook left.
The other side has two rooks, a queen, two pawns, the king and a knight left.

4. The Boy King is under threat.
But he still has plenty of pawns to sacrifice in order to castle safely. He has both bishops at risk, and the queen is in hiding.

5. I disagree ..
Bu$hboy is running low on pawns. Queen/Bishop depend on point-of-view.

7. Just like Kasparov: Trap, Dominate, Fuck.
Just goes to show that politics, like chess, is not a game for the feint of heart. Sorry Mr. Bu$h. Checkmate.
