The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

> In what ways are playing chess and getting in a bar room
> brawl the same?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Let's compare the two, shall we?
}
}                 CHESS                BAR ROOM BRAWL     SIMILAR?
}
} Start of        Opponents face       Opponents face       yes
} battle          each other warily    each other warily
}                 across a table       across a bar
}
} Opponent's      Yuri                 Bubba                 no
} name
}
} Initial         Feints to test       Feints to test       yes
} moves           opponent's           opponent's
}                 resolve              resolve
}
} Mid-game        Slow buildup         Slow buildup         yes
}                 of strength          of anger
}
} How to tell     Missing              Missing              yes
} that you're     pieces               teeth
} losing
}
} Decisive        Unexpected           Unexpected           yes
} moment          and devastating      and devastating
}                 attack               attack
}
} Final           Checkmate            Unconsciousness      yes
} outcome
}
} So there you have it - the only real difference between a chess
} game and a bar room brawl is the name of your opponent.
}
} You owe the Oracle a stiff drink and an effective response to
} the Nimzovich-Larsen attack.
