playing chess with Karl Marx

First off, we had to remove the bishops. Bishops are unnecessary in the Marxist utopia. "Religion is the opium of the people" so it becomes necessary when all are absolutely equal.

Next, we got rid of the kings and queens. That hierarchy runs contrary to Marxism.

Then we get rid of the knights as they are part of the monarchy--the hierarchy that is.

Rooks, or castles, the place where the kings and queens live, is unnecessary.

Is the distinction between black and white necessary?

TBH, I'm a little bit rusty on Marxist philosophy. He was just too stale for me.

So.. what are you trying to say with this  tactic... to play with pawn... I don't see how far can you get!?

The "fun with chess" category is not for talking strategy and openings but for "having fun with chess". The pawn vs. pawn game that would result is what would happen if you played chess with a Marxist philosophy. Please read the category before making comment.

Yeah  I read it... but you say this which will mean that he was too stale for me so far sounds like a person who is difficult to understand...

If you don't know who Karl Marx was, don't comment as if you understood the joke I was making. But congratulations--you are blocked.

Wow, it doesn't take much for someone to be blocked by this OP.  I suppose my comment will probably get me blocked too.  Surprised

This is actually I bit funny.  Piece equality too!  All pieces on the board have the same value and wage.
