Tricky stuff this chess lark, the aim of course is to topple the King, one way or another. Creampuff and Lead Sled have on another thread been debating in an interesting manner – how the world wags and how the King is protected. They politely agree to disagree but the message is the same.
CP - The issues of apparent ‘controversy’ being dealt with by the committee have been almost the same for decades - literally. The only thing that changes are the bums on the seats.
LS - Unfortunately, political cold feet at a "higher level" won the day, and here we are today.
Perhaps the old world knew a thing or two, before gunpowder the foundations to the castle were undermined, this with luck effectively dropped the whole thing on the Kings head (good pub that one) no matter how much protection there was.
So, mayhap a strategic re think here, if we can't chop the head off this thing, how about a nibble at it's feet.
Probably end up like the Black knight on the bridge (Python – Holy Grail) arms, legs and head lopped off and still spoiling for a fight – you know the one.
