- You obviously don't understand the difference between playing chess and doing
- business playing chess. Are you as hard-headed in the following examples:
-
- Difference between a Public School teacher TEACHING his own kid his religious
- beliefs at home and the same person TEACHING the students at school the same
- beliefs?
-
- A prostitute HAVING SEX with her boyfriend/husband (or do you think prostitutes
- can't have them?) and the same person HAVING SEX for business?
-
- A soldier KILLING the enemy at the battlefield and the same person coming home
- and KILLING his wife?
-
- A person RECORDING a TV program for personal use and the same person RECORDING
- the same TV program and selling copies?
-
- A person LENDING money to their buddy and a bank LENDING money to its Visa card
- holders?
-
- None of these is an exact analogy, but all should give you a hint that what
- Fischer did cannot be called simply 'playing chess'.
