It saddens me to repeatedly read about bickering and maneuvering in all Indian sports by our Dwarpalas (Door guardians). More so since we consistently hear how good we are at this or that or planning, at strategy etc. I guess a lot of it has to do with positioning and nothing more. If someone succeeds, then one can share in the glory, and whatever else one can possibly squeeze at the edges (the gamut here is staggering).
Anyway on the subject of chess: Here are some interesting perspectives (see analogies) that any strategically-inclined person would appreciate in the following review in The New York Review of Books.
