At first glance it is a tasteless version of chess, where the traditional pieces have been replaced with Osama Bin Laden and U.S. president as respective kings - and the World Trade Center towers as rooks. But 'terror chess' is proving an unexpected hit among the troops at the business end of the fighting in Afghanistan.
Several versions of terror chess exist, each modified to appeal to American or British forces, but all games feature Bin Laden as the opposing king. Controversial pieces: In the U.S. version of terror chess, the president and the Statue of Liberty are the king and queen, snipers and soldiers are the bishops and knights, and the World Trade Center replaces the rooks
For British troops: David Cameron is the king, while the Queen takes her rightful place on the board. Snipers and soldiers in British uniforms are the bishops and knights, while St Stephen's Tower replaces the rooks
I want a set!
Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...
I'd call this an inevitability, rather than controversial. Except maybe for the limeys, using a representation of HRH for a game piece, IDK how you guys feel about that.
I can't stand nothing dull
I got the high gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass as fast

I love the terrorist queen. Their rooks should be car bombs.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
