Ari's Lecture Proposal:
(to be given in September)
CHESS PLAYING POLITICIANS
Everybody's doing their job,
it's the politicians who keep screwing us up.
--Anonymous
We don't normally associate chessplayers with politicians, however there have been a number of politicians who have also been into playing chess. Among some of the more notable people in this group are Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, and Vladimir Lenin. Even some of the founding fathers of America played. This group included George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. In this lecture, we will analyze a handful of games were one of the players was also a politician. Below, I have provided the scores to the games that I intend to analyze with you so that YOU can come prepared with your own analysis. I also intend to throw in a special surprise at the beginning of the event.
WARNING: I intend to make this lecture more in the spirit of Andy Soltis's "Chess to Enjoy" than that of a typical John Nunn book (but if you feel like bringing in homemade Fritz/Nunn type of analysis than feel free to do so). The Kenilworth Chess Club is fortunate to have two separate rooms to conduct its usual activities. If anyone has a problem with the theme or arrangement of this lecture than I strongly suggest that they "do their thing" in the smaller room, which has previously been done on multiple occasions under similar circumstances involving lectures. Even if there is a non-chess meeting that is initially taking place in that room, those people typically leave before 9:00 pm, which gives the club members plenty of time to avoid the lecture (and you can even find out ahead of time if there is going to be a meeting in that smaller room that night).
