I love the detail that Leo was a better chess player than the President.

It's part of the clear contrasts between Leo and the President, the military man and the university professor, the pragmatist and the idealist, the one who does not hesitate to do sacrifice plays and the one who is compassionate and won't move before getting all the necessary information.

Playing chess was apparently necessary for his MS treatment. To monitor something.

That's not what the scene is showing. In the West Wing, Chess is always used as a metaphor for seeing the bigger picture. In this scene, President Bartlet isn't seeing the bigger picture. He's hyperfocused on two things: how he's going to convince Abbey he has to break their deal and getting the hostages back. Leo is able to see a bigger picture, but he's only seeing four moves deep. Neither of them are considering the larger play, which is why they get caught off guard when the task force is killed because they walked them into a trap.

Imagine being Leo, watching him: “This dude does NOT know how to play chess!”

To take a rock with a bishop is no sacrifice.

He plays two moves for black in a row... Also the queens rook was open from the beginning and his bishop may have been open but was defended so it was not a sacrifice. Not that I mind, just to save someone time who wants to analyze the position: the moves don't make sense

They were playing a version called Presidential Chess.

Was this storyline inspired by Operation Eagle Claw - Jimmy Carters failed attempt to rescue the Iranian hostages in 1980 ?

Eagle Claw was a doofus name.

I love this show. But every election year it feels like they post all these videos as if saying this is how Democrats rule.😂😂😂

I enjoyed the writing of this show, however, I despise the way they portray the Republicans as "evil" and the Democrats as being direct descendents of Jesus Christ himself. Also, Bartlett would be considered a Republican by today's standards of modern politics.

@@Rye7I never thought they tarred the entire Republican Party with the same brush. However they had to have an antagonist didn’t they? I always thought that Bartlett was a pragmatist but you knew exactly where he stood on certain issues and he would not let that pragmatism be used as stick that the other side could beat him with…..
