PUTIN PLAYS "POLITICAL CHESS" !

It is well known that Putin is an accomplished player of chess and this becomes very evident when, as a politician, he is negotiating Truces such as the one in Minsk this week.

When accomplished players move in a game of chess, they try to attack but without weakening their defensive position.  They may entice their oponent by conceding a possible opening, but they are always ready to profit if the response by their oponent is weak and permits this !

This affirmation leads directly to an obvious question !  Was there an accomplished player of chess in the team surrounding the Western negotiators in Minsk ?  Also, how many of the leaders in the West can play chess competently ?  

To be quite clear, when a game is in progress, it takes less than five seconds for a competent player to know who is on top !  Playing chess is to know what could happen during the next five moves, if not more !   That competence is needed in negotiations !

Putin knows how to play chess !   He also knows there are flaws in the Minsk Truce !
