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.
