    Mike Klein has challenged Justin Trudeau to a chess game. Blindfolded Mike vs. Trudeau. If Trudeau wins, Mike gives USD $10,000 to the charity of PM's choice. If Mike wins, Trudeau will sign the petition: https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/P...etition=e-4283

    Hopefully Justin will accept the challenge like his father Pierre did.

      Ah, the brilliant Pierre who - just a fortnight after Bobby Fischer lost to Boris
      Spassky at the Siegen Olympiad - thumped a la Magnus Carlsen,
      "Just watch me!!"

        So here's SoCA's reply to Mike Klein's bravado which we publically announced over on chesscom ...

        https://www.chess.com/blog/MomOnaBre...mment-80441099

        For this PM sig ... I'm afraid Mike Klein will willingly toss this game ... 100% guaranteed.

        So sad, but true.

        Instead Mike ... here's what I want to showcase ...

        As CEO of SoCA, Society of Chess Aficionados, I'll gladly add another 1k USD to your generous 10k USD to have our future, the youth of Canada, go up against our PM. You select a Canadian youth ... perhaps CFC or CMA rated ... to play against Justin or perhaps one of ... his chosen youth!!!

        Please sit this one out Mike ... appreciate your bravado and your want ... I do, but let's let our future speak for itself!!!

        Reach out to me here ... societyofchessaficionados at gmail dot com

        Furthermore ... we challenge all Canadian companies to step up and put your hard earned money where your branding is!!!

        Now's the time for our future Chess in Canada to shine!!!


        Much love!
        peace,
        n.


        ...

          The world no longer possesses great statesmen, nor even competent journalists, like this.

            Thanks Brad for posting the link. Face to face - great back and forth - I really enjoyed that memory.

              Earlier I was referring to Pierre Trudeau's blindfold game with his political partner (the guy who organized great chess events in Montreal in the seventies - I forget his name) on a plane somewhere in Russia. He was bribed into playing by an offer of a fresh orange. That was posted somewhere on chesstalk about 10 years ago but I cant find the thread.
