It seems there are obections now to the fact that in Chess the first move is always made by the white.

Garry Kasparov, the Russian who was the game’s number one player for the best part of three decades, couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw news.com.au’s coverage of the debate, which aired on Wednesday.

It came after ABC host James Valentine saw a post on Twitter noting white moved first in the popular board game and thought it was worthy of further discussion.

Fair to say Kasparov didn’t. “If you are worried that the game of chess is racist, please take up Go, where black moves first, instead of looking foolish by wasting taxpayer money at a state broadcaster to ‘investigate’ it!” the 57-year-old tweeted.

I would have liked to get a link on the ABC page about it but not surprisingly can't find any.

I tried using white ink, but as you can see it was a total failure

I demand white ink on beige background

Don't you mean "slave founded news."?

News is news, as the average elephant has it. It's served up in the media, so why wouldn't it be true?
How does the average elephant have a hope in distinguishing real news, as in unbiased report of how events actually unfolded?
She struggles, but makes up for it by throwing her weight around and swinging her trunk authoritativley.
She is the Matriarch, after all...
