Harry, Harry, Harry. This really is a terrific story. Surely
you
understand that when any of the top five are killed others then
move up to
take their place. There will always be a top five until there
are no more
leaders left to fill the ranks.

You understand that....eh?
Oh, what a spin!! So, I take it, then, that when you play chess,
and
someone takes your Queen, a Rook or a Knight becomes the Queen??
Another who knows nothing of succession of command.
In a game of chess, there are two opposing players. If one gets
killed, the other wins. Amen.

Sorry, but Vietnam proved the "war of attrition" techniques don't
work. You were there, right? We lost.
Harry, only someone with your extreme intelligence could relate my
statement about chess to Vietnam
attrition techniques.
In chess, there are two opposing teams of many players under the
command of a king, as it were.

The game isn't over when a player is killed. Further, it is possible
to replace "killed" players within the game.

Not much of a chess player, eh?

The North Vietnamese had a virtually endless supply of players ready
to take over from those who were killed. Which is why we could never
win a war of attrition there.

And which is why we are losing Iraq.
If you and I were playing chess, and you shot me with one of your new
shotguns, you would be the
winner, not me.
If the two of us were playing chess, you would lose, every time. No
shotguns would be needed. You don't think well out of the box, you
don't seem to be able to think abstractly, and all your thinking is
dogmatic and predictable.

You're be a lousy chess player.

Stick to tick-tack-toe.
You're be right. I am a lousy chess player. I can barely beat the
Belarussian kid who comes in the
summer.

But then, I've never bragged about my chess abilities,

Neither have I. I'm not that good a player, but I am sure I'd slam you.
Your thinking processes are too predictable to be any good at chess. I
lost nearly 25 games straight to a computerized chess game until I
trained myself to move in ways that wouldn't necessarily be expected.
That alone moved me up to the ranks of the mediocre live chess players.

I have yet to lose to a computerized chess game.

Let us know how you do against Hydra, or even the non-restricted Shredder.

You didn't let me finish:

I also have yet to win against a computerized chess game.

Me either. And I'm not bragging about it, either!
