Subject:   The increased use of chess mataphors in the print media

Message:   I believe someone on this board mentioned this topic in the recent past. Take a look at the MSNBC article by Howard Fineman, "Iraq exit strategy and the Tehran gambit", and count the number of chess metaphors he uses!---It could be some kind of record!?

Disclaimer: This is neither an affirmation nor condemnation of Fineman's political views on my part,--- merely an attempt to count chess metaphors.
