Alien Invasion! Save The World... With Chess!

Dear Earthlings,

I bet you have already seen movies, books, games, or similar media about hostile aliens invading Earth to destroy us for no reason. Usually, they are just evil and enjoy annihilating random planets for fun. But of course, their hidden goal is to give Hollywood a context for a new cheap action movie.

I'm sure you've also come across those typical social media polls asking: "Who would you choose to play against aliens if they invaded Earth and decided our fate in a chess game?”. Yeah, it sounds very realistic... but well, it is fun to vote and read people justifying their choices.
