THE PROBLEM TOURNAMENT
1.Both
Tournament Director (lets call him Mr O) and Chief Arbiter (lets call him Mr B)
have been working together for a long time...yes, occasionally there are
problem but they could resolve it for the benefits of the chess participants.
2.But now TD
and Chief Arbiter have a dispute on last round pairing...and worst, both have a valid
argument to support their points.
3.The
dispute went on unresolved...and now it has passed the schedule last round...Chief
Arbiter then decided not to issue last round pairing...all players are angry and restless
now.
4.But both
TD and Chief Arbiter just don’t care. Both are in fact not talking to each
other! It is what we chess player call it, ‘Stalemate’.
5.Stalemate
has been going on for 6 hours...and now the time for prize giving ceremony is
about to start. Prize winners are very worried since they have a flight to
catch and maybe they will not get back their hard earned money.
6. Tik Tok Tik Tok...will this be a worst tournament ever?
THE PROBLEM
GOVERNMENT
1.Both
President (Obama) and House Speaker (Boehner) have been working together for a
long time...yes, occasionally there are problem but they could resolve it for
the benefits of the US Citizen.
2.But now Obama
and Boehner have a dispute on Health Care benefit...and worst, both have a
valid argument to support their points.
3.The
dispute went on unresolved...and now it has passed the deadline and leads to
Government standstill...everybody is restless now.
4.But both
Obama and Boehner are not talking to each other! It is what press call it ‘Government
Shutdown’.
5.Shutdown
has been going on for 6 days...and now the deadline for US Government to pay
their debtors are looming ahead. Markets
are now very worried because should US Government default, the effect will be
worse than subprime crisis few years back.
6. Tik Tok Tik Tok...will this be a worst financial crisis ever?
NOTE
Above drama is
still on going as at now at Washington DC...Obama blamed Boehner for being selfish...Boehner
blamed Obama for refuse to sit down and discuss...lets see who blink first.
By the way
US Government needs to pay their debt obligation by 17 October 2013, if not
then US Government can be considered as a bankrupt nation.
Well, lets
grab a soda (extra large!)... and popcorn (with caramel!)... and see how this drama unfold in real time!
Ooooo... I got it... u were trying to put the US scenario in chess context!
ReplyDeleteGood one!
Thanks abdooss,
ReplyDeleteYeah, i am referring to US Government shutdown from chess players perspective and that after 2 days of my above posting, is still unresolved...
It shows both the worst and best of US Government...
The worst, because both Democrat and REpublican seems to act childish, sellfidh and over politicking on petty issue while citizen suffers
The best, because it shows the government check balance system at best....even arguably the most powerful man in the world cannot freely do whatever he wants to do...
