The 'what if' game
What if George Washington plays a chess game? George Washington will rename the king as 'president'.
What if Bobby Fischer had wandered onto the set while they were filming Searching for Bobby Fischer?
They'd have to come up with a new title.
What if Bobby Fischer played Carpov in the world championship? Carpov may never become world champion. Kasparov may not become world champion... Magnus may not become world champion.
What If, you lived, in an idyllic environment ; Where Nobody had any pressing, {or should I say, 'pres$ing'}, needs .. Your, vocation, of choice {?!} .. {rhetorical}.

Bravo, Sir.
What if chess was never invented? I would still be losing card games of Rummy and Crazy Eights to my older sisters.

I'm sure those guys would still prove their worth. Fischer would be World Champion for a few more years, then lose a dramatic WCC to Kasparov (and disappear from there! ). Kasparov would be very dominant until Carlsen beats him!
