“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
Both chess players align into the Sicilian defense, castle to their King's rook, and on the eight move, the white Queen moves forward one space and black takes the Queen's pawn and both phalanxes become a bloodbath for the center of the board.
I play chess, but not very well. Black playing the Sicilian defense in response to white opening with king's pawn to E3 has a slight statistical advantage to winning though. The game is pretty much usually decided by the first eight moves. :P

ReplyDeleteTake Kursk, roll in the heavy artillery and dig in, start shelling Moscow.
ReplyDeleteIf a Hind helicopter can slip under Russian radar and air defenses, drones and choppers carrying special forces troops can too.
