Just keep this exact phrase in mind when weak-willed chessmasters enamored with their own cleverness suggest reaching across the aisle over the next two years.
"you can't make a good deal with a bad person"

I feel there is some anti-fascist version of fascism's "The opponent is both extremely weak and all-powerful at the same time."
Like people have a tendency to see fascists both as idiot bufoons, but also chessmasters and everything happening is just another step of their 7D masterplan.

Like none of these guys are chessmasters, they just know eachother and have lots of money and that's all that makes them strong. You tax them and enforce more transparency in government and large companies and it's completely over for them

There's a perception that the Taliban, IRA et al had to be ultra-badass chessmasters to survive and do damage and... They just didn't. A lot of insurgency explicitly focuses on soft targets to compensate for organizational challenges, lack of skilled manpower etc.

Yeah, you'd think the last decade or so would have put the idea of wealth and intelligence being correlated to bed. These people aren't chessmasters playing the long game, they're morons who impulsively latch onto whatever scheme for short-term power or profit that they can find.

The "fucking with AEW" narrative is cover to make them look like chessmasters when they're actually getting strung along by the Saudis.

deep blue was beating chessmasters in the 90s but we didn't stop playing then either.

Assembling a great cast?

Getting fun ideas for campaigns that I'd never ever get around to running.

A city where the local vamps got wiped out by infighting by chessmasters who overplayed their hands, and younger vampires moving in to try carving a niche for them and theirs could be neat, for example.

Why is a Grand Chessmaster called a “woman” instead of female?

Why differentiate between male and female Grand Chessmasters if they play each other?

Is a male called the youngest “man” even if older than the female?

Isn’t 11 year old Bodhana Sivanandan the youngest Chess GrandMaster period?

If Nazis are all evil masterminds and 4D chessmasters it makes a lot of uncomfortable questions about why your faves couldn’t beat them go away.

<- who think they're chessmasters but are forever baffled when everything blows up in their faces.

it's just. it's toddler logic. i'm sure some of them are actually cunning chessmasters or whatever, but like.

all the people in charge in the US sphere of influence have the critical thinking capacity of particularly cruel babies.

smith and mccoy are more middle of the pack because while they would be somewhat less aggravating to ralsei, game also recognizes game and ralsei would know how outclassed he is next to two of the whoniverse's greatest chessmasters

like, the only reason Harry does not lose and Voldemort conquers the world is that Dumbledore (who Harry thinks is a superstitious idiot) has access to all the prophecies and chessmasters a survivable outcome

BBC4 really pushing #chessmasters and who can blame them when it's as utterly appalling as it is?

#chessmasters was an unbelievably poor high-brow replacement for #onlyconnect but it could have been worse. We could have had sob stories. They could have started singing.

The faux tension and excitement of the ridiculously easy "puzzle" section. Jesus.

A speed chess game where only a handful of moves can be shown to explain the strategies or risks because trying to do that in real time would miss a quarter of the game does not make for great television.

Okay, no idea what to really expect from #chessmasters on BBC2 now but lets give it a go.

They're less 4D chessmasters and more like tweakers tearing the copper out of the walls for a quick buck before somebody chases them out.

like some kind of "some weirdos on the internet insist that the three kings exist & people have sorta passively accepted the theory of secret ultra-powerful chessmasters because then theres no reason to fight an unbeatable immortal conspiracy, so effectively they might as well exist" shit
