I see nothing other than a simple boardgame

[chesspolitik]

Isn't it strange the complications
People attach to situations
Almost as if they want to miss
The wood for the trees

Nothing will change my basic feeling
When they've done all their wheeler-dealing
Those in the strongest situations
Do as they please -- The Arbiter (Chess)

I put the offer on the table, it's up to you to take it." He moved backwards out of the doorway and added as a parting shot before letting the door close behind him, "I could get another one of my men back instead. Remember that."
