Later this month U.S. President Barack Obama and President of Russia Vladimir Putin will meet at the chess board for a diplomatic match at the highest level. The chess meeting between the two world leaders is intended to “resolve the current stalemate situation” between the two countries, which has been described as “a 21st-century cold war fight of strategic nature” by insiders of the White House.

I really do wish that geo-political battles could be decided over a simple game of chess. It would make things less messy when it comes to warfare and we could use it as a reason to endow chess grandmasters the world over with surpreme executive power!!  That's a good idea, isn't it?    

Excellent, news worthy article.


However, I still like the idea of the duel. Whether the heads of state go against each other or choose champions, I still find it aesthetically pleasing.
