David, you are a complete idiot.

When you two play chess is it like Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov Vs Bobby Fischer?

Am I Karpov or Fischer?

Am I Karpov or Fischer?

I haven't checked their records but I awarded you the Russian status and David the American.

Bobby Fischer was certainly a right wing anti-semitic nutcase (even though half jewish) so I think I am happy to be Karpov and probably David would have Fischer as his hero because he really hated the USSR.

The first bet I ever had was the massive sum of £1 which I placed at Ladbrokes on Spassky against Fischer just before the Reykjavik world championship match. Sadly I lost, but I did fare better later on dogs and horses.

   A popular joke in Russia is that negotiating with the US is like playing chess with a pigeon.
     First it knocks over all the pieces, then shits on the board before finally strutting around as if it won. David's contributions to this thread fit the analogy perfectly.

      So more accurately;
     Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov vs. A Feral Pigeon.
     I'm sure you can figure out who is who

My record with NGB is 31 wins 1 draw and 133 losses. 

   Your record on here is 0 wins, 0 draws, uncountable losses
      And sh## all over the board

[David1819]

NATO planners versus Russian General Staff is like David vs ngb at chess.

You cheeky bugger!

[David1819]

You cheeky bugger!

I guess you wont be letting me off the hook again. 

[ngb1066]

I guess you wont be letting me off the hook again. 

I will try not to.

[David1819]

I will try not to.

I think Gringo got his analogy the wrong way round. I think I'm Russia and you are NATO.

[ngb1066]

I think Gringo got his analogy the wrong way round. I think I'm Russia and you are NATO.

I am certainly not NATO! 

[David1819]

I am certainly not NATO!

But you win 90% of the time, usually have more material and in better positions.
