Chess satire

IN THE REAL WORLD political satire is a fact of daily life, regardless of whether you live in a democratic regime  or under a dictatorship (though political satirists have shorter life-spans in the latter).  The game of chess finds itself perfectly endowed with sufficient subtlety and finesse to be able to make a point without being overtly offensive or rash.  Chess is the game of Kings….and often the political leaders of the day can find some solace in the fun with the comparison.
