Russian Ukraine War

[kruddler]

Russia and Russian's pride themselves on being strategic managers, that is why chess is so popular in the soviet block.

If Russia is pressed it will realise the way to end this current battle is to concede enabling them to live to fight another day, which they can do by knocking over the King! If the King is stupid enough to think his followers naivé then he'll be sacrificed to end the conflict.

There are 2 ways to concede or not lose.
1. as you describe.
2. Flip the entire chess board over and claim you never lost.

If anyone is going to go #2, its the nutcases in charge of Russia.
