Who likes chess?

is the end run, getting into a position where it looks like you are going to lose. and actually having yourself in a position where you could check mate 2 different ways in the next move.

**That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them

I'll never forget the day when this one guy claimed to be superb at chess. He boasted about how great he was all the time so one day he came over to my place and I casually pulled the chess game out and asked if he wanted to play. He took the offer up. As we were playing, he did make some good moves however he almost went into shock when I placed him in checkmate with a pawn. I truly wish I had a camcorder recording it I'll never forget his face. I'm a very modest player, never claiming to be good and frequently said I use each game as a learning tool to better my skills.

Also, another time, I used to play this other guy pretty frequently, it was him he always asked me to play and I would always accept, we'd have good convos during the game, I recall him telling me he enjoys playing against me even if he does lose all the time and that it's only making him better. Well, the day finally came where he finally beat me. Which only made us play more because of the challenge he had become. I miss the good ole days.

1) Get as much bang as we can out of the National Convention.
2) Vote for Ron Paul as a write in if necessary.
3) Keep the movement moving forward by becoming leaders within the Republican Party.
4) Cheerfully spread our message for peace, prosperity and freedom until the next election. Using Meet-up groups and online forums.
5) Find a new candidate for 2012 (with Dr Paul's endorsement) and win the White House with the most organized grassroots movement in history.
6) Continue working to elect local and federal officials to office that understand the idea of limited government. For the rest of our lives.

We are the pieces in this game but we are different than chess pieces because we have the power to convert others to our side. First and foremost we must increase our ability to do that by understanding the meaning of liberty. We have been charged with the daunting task of becoming the most informed block of voters that has ever lived (except for maybe the Greeks). What an exciting time to be alive!

You are really talking about chess. I thought this was going to be a thread about how the CFR has just laid out a chess game for us to think we are having an election. But they are moving all the men around, they chose the players, they know the strategy and all the rules and they manipulate the rules to fit them. So does the mess we are in remind you of chess? I figure Rupert and Dave just sit in their towers and think about their next move.

Dr. Paul must be a chess player. He's thinking ten moves ahead while the others are still trying to figure out what happened yesterday.

You want to get really crazy. Buy a chess clock and put time into the equation! 5 minute games are crazy and make you think on your toes!

I like chess. I'm not very good at it, but I do enjoy a game every once in a while.

Years ago, I decided to teach my wife the game -- I explained the board set up, the movement of the Knight, the Bishop, the Queen, the Pawns, etc., etc. Our first real game -- She won.

-- I must be a better teacher than I am a player :-)

Been like that ever since with her, too.
