King BHO. HRC would be a bad choice for his Queen. Her only goal is to stay on the board, not to protect him. I’m going with ValJar for now. She protects him on defense and offence (his handler).
*********************************************************
In chess, the most powerful piece on the board is the Queen. When a pawn is promoted, most players choose to promote the pawn to a Queen.
The object of chess is to place the King in such a position that escape is not possible. This makes the King the most important piece, but it’s usually the weakest piece in the game until the endgame. The endgame starts when there are only a few pieces left on the board, not including pawns and the King, and when the King begins to become more active in the play. In the opening and middlegame, the King rarely plays an active role in the development of the play.
So maybe we should be trying to figure out who the most powerful player is, and who the most important player is. The Q drop suggests they aren’t the same person.
If we restrict our choices to the US (and leave out the elites at this point), the King would seem to be Obama. He’s the one we most want to capture and he’s been largely silent up until recently. He’s been increasing his participation in the various media in the last few months, suggesting we might be approaching the endgame.
Pelosi has been wielding her power in a variety of ways from budgetary shenanigans to pulling the strings on House committee work. She might be the Queen.
I’m sure everyone here knows that President Trump is a world-class chess player and is uniquely qualified to be handling this time in history. I am completely in awe!
Yes, the object of the game is to kill the other King, so that piece is the most important. That can happen with only a few pieces remaining or it can happen with all of the pieces still on the board. A King can be mated in four moves if His army is stupid (called the Fool’s Mate).
The Queen is the most powerful in the sense of freedom of movement, her power intensifies working in conjunction of other pieces. She can coordinate a strong defense protecting his majesty, but she excels in leading the charge to kill the opposing monarch. Often she sacrifices herself to attain the goal. She is fierce and selfless. All pieces are expendable in the quest except His Majesty.
The endgame starts when both Queens are removed. The King becomes more active, the pawns express their lust to expand and transform into a Queen, but occasionally circumstances dictate a Rook or Knight is the wiser reincarnation. It all depends on the board at the time.
44 was coronated in ’08 and he seems to be the figurehead at least in the shadow government. His demise will bring down the kingdom. Pelosi, Hilldog, the Wookie, I don’t see any of them as selfless. They defend the King as long as it serves their purposes. I proposed ValJar as the viper in the shadows, the strategist/assassin protecting her asset. The power she wields seems real.
Or so it seemed to me after a few adult beverages.
BTW, glad to see you here, I’ve been enjoying your posts. I’m smilingly awaiting Bag’s proposal to you. And maximum agreement on 45’s chess skills.
“the King would seem to be Obama”
I’m persuaded that the King is indeed Obama, because Q’s tweet about it started with the bit about “Graham shoots down Trump’s call for Obama testimony on Russia probe origins” (Protecting Obama!)
I take back my guess that Hillary is the King.
And she’s not the Queen, either.
Little Lindsey (NoName’s Pustule) Graham is the Queen,
because the Politio Article also in Q’s post tells us that:
~~~~~~~~
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) plans to hand the chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee back to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa.) in the next Congress...
...Grassley has more seniority on the Judiciary Committee than Graham. Graham added that the Iowa Republican is “a very special friend” who has two more years in which he could be chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
~~~~~~~~
And Q’s post ends with:

Worth remembering.
Think Chess.
Do you attack the KING in the beginning or middle-to-end?
QUEEN protects KING?
Q
~~~~~~~~
So, The King, Obama, isn’t supposed to be attacked until the
middle-to-end and gets defeated in the end, by force of
Grassley in the chair and blockades removed.
Next Congress. :-(
...Sometime after Queen “climax blocker” Graham stands down or is removed from play by exposure.
(DECLASS!)

I like your analysis LL. Your choice is going straight to #2.
1)Queen = Linda; King = POTUS
2)Queen = SanFranNan; King = Obummer
3)Queen = Obummer; King = HilLiary
4)Queen = HilLiary; King = Obummer
5)Queen = ValJar; King = Obummer
6)Queen = ????; King = Obummer
7)Queen or King = Micheal or Obummer
kallisti wanted to scratch his horse, but I thought it was a valid longshot. The Michael variation quinella is fun, but I don’t think the floppy one is that motivated, powerful, or important. Bagster has the ???? Queen entry, so he needs some cash to frontwheel all the phillies in his exacta.
What a race!
