Is that a bit racist?

Not at 3:42AM.  A joke is a joke :) I liked it.

For the record, Bishops are not called "Bishops" in most languages. Also, the representation of the King with a cross on his head is not universal.

In Serbian, they are called "Hunters."

I have a sense that this thread will not survive much beyond the opening...

This game is incredibly incorrect!

First of all, this game was much longer. And Bin Laden surprised his opponent in the beginning which caused white to have two towers less.

Atos

It was a gambit.

SHRDLU

OK. that was funny.

But as a devoted Wahabite Bin Laden will never touch a chess piece, let alone play a game. Carved idols are for infidels like us.

 You are confusing things. The Game you are talking about was Bin Laden against George Bush.

could you imagine if world issues were decided on the chess board?

Stating that an individual doesn't speak a language is not racist. Contextually it could be seen as discriminating.

People would bring a lot more "equipment" than a monroi to games.

A similar stereotype would be to say that Australians have a good sense of humor, which apparently is not true in all cases.

Don't think I stereotyped as I checked to see whether Bin Laden spoke english and apparently he doesn't. Very few things hold true in all cases.

Like I said...

This was creative and funny! Thank you.

Bin Laden, being a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family, received some of the best education in the world in the United States, England, and Saudi Arabia itself. =)

You know a lot about Bin Laden, can you tell me where to find him? Someone is looking for him. In fact lots of people are looking for him.
