Hello Friends of Steemit, in this post I have a collaboration with a great and old friend, which will be part of this Political Recipe Project, @ MLFrancoC, it is a fascinating topic and every time we can we play some fast games of Chess, because of what they serve the friends if it is not to share so to continuation:
Politics is a field of life from which many can not escape, either voluntarily or not always end up talking or referring to a specific topic; and is that it is extremely difficult to separate it from the economy, business, sports, social classes and food, so we dedicate this post to a sport that is very similar to politics and is Chess, combining two of the personal tastes in a single theme.
Chess or also called the game of kings, is a sport that involves extreme mental concentration. To make a move a chess player meticulously considers the risks and advantages that this involves and how this move will cause discomfort to the opponent, because more than a game is a fight of intellect. In politics, in the same way, each candidate must make strategic decisions that put him one step ahead of his competitor and at the same time cause setbacks or inconveniences that deviate from his main objective; win the game.
But like all games, there are always cheaters; players who do not skimp on anything to achieve their goals and beat the opponent. In the case of chess there are some characters that have been discovered because they show levels of game so perfect that only an analysis engine could deduce them, we have a young Bulgarian called Ivanov between 20 and 25 years old that overnight he began to win games against teachers with great ease; and like him, many others have appeared in the history of sports science and I am sure they will continue to appear.
In the same way, in politics there are people who do not mind cheating to achieve their goal, as the philosopher and politician Nicolás Machiavelli would say in his treatise on political doctrine entitled The Prince, published in Rome in 1531 "The end justifies the means." Many politicians have used this to commit atrocities throughout history, "sacrificing" people as if they were pieces on a chess board in order to achieve their personal interests. Nuestro día a día se desenvuelve de cierto modo en un tablero de ajedrez, ya que implica tomar decisiones o elaborar planes estratégicos para alcanzar nuestras metas y cumplir con nuestras tareas. Así que, piensa bien cual será tu próxima jugada, porque podría costarte la partida.
