The game of chess is mainly about strategy, reading your opponent’s mind and predicting his next moves. But more importantly, it is about a good start, smart, calculated moves and a spectacular finish.

Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Obama is a chess genius.
Hah hah. The picture looks like a brown W. Bush!
Hey Susan thats President Obama using the Ultramodern transboard action of the knight idea!!! haha maybe us Africans types do know a lil something about chess, hold a few ticks here!! Yo Ivanchuck how u doin? everything cool so far? R we gettin respect yet or NO?ur gunna hide for as long as possible like on ICC, huh? hehe thats cool too i understand!. tick- tick tick. hehe
Obama is renowned as one of the greatest Senators to ever serve in the United States Senate. The two years he spent there equal almost 20 years by other Senators that have come before him. He is like the Roger Federer of the Senate. Unfortunately the Senate was too small of a stage for Barack Obama and he had to move onward to an office more commensurate with his skills and ability. It is looking now like even the office of President of the United States will be too small for him. Within the first two hundred days in office he has accomplished more than most presidents accomplish in eight years. After just finishing healing the Arab – Israeli conflict he is tackling the prickly US – Russia relationship and will be meeting with none other than Garry Kasparov !!! My biggest worry is that by the time Obama is finished there won’t be much left for other Presidents to do who come after him. Maybe it will become a part time position?
“Obama is renowned as one of the greatest Senators to ever serve in the United States Senate.”
Only in his own dreams.
He’ll probably be known as the first black communist president of the USA.
Hey. Today, in the German paper Der Spiegel, Henry Kissinger also makes the comparison of Obama to a chess player. Kissinger says it is the opening and he agrees with his moves so far. See Article here.
