What does Chess have to do with Animals?

Winning, for one thing. Chess has been used to demonstrate war tactics and was required learning for the young bucks, of the Persian Nobles, in the 14th century.

Does anyone know what animal the Rook signifies?. Not Jim!

Oh, you gave me a clue! What animal does it imply?
Chipmunk?
Dog?

Rook was a chariot and what was a soldier tower on top of an elephant became the bishop, not the tower.

American politics seems to be more akin to a bad game of checkers.

Isn't Castling considered a faux pas?

If castling happens, at least one person doesn't know how to play.

Very close but forcing a stalemate can be a tactic

Is it check. You are not allowed to move into check even accidentally

no you can take the king
The game was over at checkmate
So take his king and feed it to his dog.
