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'm sure Supermuussolinibros knew exactly what he/she intended it to mean; but in reality it is only a piece of gibberish - a meaningless insult which could be aplied to any media outlet by any person of whatever political persuasion.

And meaningless insults don't win arguments, they just lead others to assume that the person resorting to them has nothing inteligent to contribute.
