I'll give it a try.

1) Have a good opening.
2) Surround yourself with "good pieces."
3) Take care of your "pawns."
4) Have a plan (end game).
5) It's only chess (Politics).
6) Position matters more than pieces.

Cheese makers in France don't pay any heed to European regulations on pasturisation.

Garry Kasparov wrote a book recently (he was interviewed on Colbert's show) called How Life Imitates Chess. Read it.

One of the basic arguments is that people who are good at chess tend to succeed in life. Sometimes there are exceptions, such as DSR, but it tends to be a general rule.

With two main political parties you mean: Communist Party of the Russian Federation and United Russia?

I can tell you a ton of people who were good at chess and failed at life but it would take too long. Instead, I'll limit myself to just the world champions: Paul Morphy, William Steinitz, Alexander Alekhine, Bobby Fischer, Anatoly Karpov, etc.

In your case sherzo, you failed at both chess and at life.

Chess perhaps yes. Life, no. You are the opposite. And Garry Kasparov failed at neither.
