Message | "Whilst we of course admire Gospodin Soze's conviction regarding his love for cats, we must rebut that Chess is the sport of the Saiserist League, and the long-recognized sport of this nation. Unlike such sporting games as ping-pong, chess does not reward mere physical abilities but is entirely determined by the mental skills of the combatants. It is the one sport where, truly, the better man always wins. It also teaches invaluable skills and values. How the objective, the destruction of your opponent's King, is all that matters and how that is achieved is merely incidental. It also, of course, teaches that often to crush your opponent you have to sacrifice pieces that don't matter. for the victory." ~Col. Mstislav Naryshkin, Secretary of the Saiserist League |
