Duty-War: Cold Chess {A}

A video-game aficionado describes his 'dream-experience' during which he's transported inside his own game and becomes a 'Cold-War ground-force' rook.

A fun Saturday-eve video-game fantasy-dream experience/faerie-tale featuring references to the exciting new game Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (Treyarch/Raven-Software).

I had been a fan of video-games all my life and became something of an aficionado and when I got my new gaming-system, I decided to get a special Cold-War ground-infiltrations themed game and post comments about it on various forums on the Internet, for fun social-media IQ 'chess' detectives.

My home-entertainment (TV/video-game) system/set is quite fun and impressive, and I decided to enjoy hours of this new Cold-War themed ground-force/infiltration game on it, and I started to make some cool journal entries about the quality of manmade war ideations and the 'chess' it prompted for leverages created by/through motions of nation-bloc axes, as was done during the iconic Cold War.

One night, after some extra-wine and Cold-War gameplay, I fell into a deep sleep during which I imagined I was transported inside my own Cold-War video-game and effectively became an intelligence-recruited Western/American ground-force 'guerrilla' in Europe during the 1980s. This transportation dream-sleep experience is something I'd not soon forget.

The Cold War between the USA and former Soviet Union saw key nation-bloc axes substrates form after the two former WWII-allies suddenly stood 'rigid' against each other, negotiating power-visions of key difference(s), with the USA seeking to end the USSR's stolid plan of purely communist nuclear developments and alliances with key communist nations including Vietnam, China, Cuba, and North Korea. The two global superpowers (USA/USSR) now stood in competition following the fall of Nazi-Germany, with actors/playmakers casting 'society contests' in the regions of weaponry, treasuries, ally-funding, the great Space Race, and of course, the Cold-War chess 'rivalry' between American champion Bobby Fischer and Russian master Boris Spassky. Thus, the Cold War represented a key 'moment' in world-history typified by axes of competition not seen since the days of Rome-Carthage (Caesar-Hannibal)! The Cold-War themed video-game I was 'transported' inside during my strange dream-experience cast me as one of the American infiltrators, sent to disintegrate an espionage-protocol erosion linked to weaponry/territory development(s).

While inside the video-game, I found myself taken as a temporary hostage by the Soviet general Ion who demanded I reveal secrets regarding American intent towards the use of 'social-media' to market/hype the Cold War chess gaming rivalry/journals between Fischer-Spassky. Ion insisted that this chess 'contest' would create a strange globe-IQ regarding the quality of stalemate-chess ideations. Stalemate refers to a tie/draw or 'no-win' decision created by a 'perfect' symmetrical condition between the two opponents, casting a 'diagram' of intelligence leverage/equivalence! General Ion insisted that the 'stalemate'-potential of the Fischer-Spassky chess-rivalry during the Cold-War would create new age imagery regarding the stabilization of axes of intent on the world-stage.

ION: The Cold War is a hallmark of stalemate-chess controversy, Mr. Satan.

AMLAN SATAN (Me): Well, General, I'd 'doubt' that the stalemate-IQ for ironical peace with the Soviets is something of danger.

ION: Untrue, naive American; for such a stalemate would certainly forward a Soviet 'agenda' to cast a 'militant' alternative!

ME: No, sir; the stalemate-condition is one of consensual parity in strategic gameplay and warrants no 'extra-credit' bias.

ION: Well, such 'bias' informs our Soviet agenda against your American 'cowboy'-dreams of raw ambition, no?
ME: No; General, the Cold-War is typified by negotiated land-fortune(s)...not the use of 'chess' for bias-entropy (hmm).

After I escaped from the ruthless General's clutches, I was returned for my American ground-force pals' work in Europe to destroy the weaponry-silos of the rogue Soviet soldiers/forces assigned to extremely exploit the espionage protocol to create a deformity that would 'enhance' a more 'mad' Soviet vision of its more mad generals to 'complement' the Fischer-Spassky Cold-War chess 'event' on the 'social-media' or world stage with an affirmed stance on bias-driven dance! I found myself feeling, inside my own video-game during this dream-sleep experience that night, like a 'priest' of this Earthling-drama of intelligence-IQ oriented 'pure' mad genius (ha).

When I woke from this strange/lucid dream-sleep experience, I decided to post on social-media some 'cool' chess-stalemate ideations regarding modern Western civilization turbulence-address regarding various 'sectarian' woes outside Israel-Palestine facilitating the cessation of piracy activity to promote more economics-driven inter-religious coexistence in places like the United Kingdom (Europe)! I decided to even make a series of comics-fanfictions about the 'human' design(s).

I decided to then travel to Europe, to Transylvania (Romania) and began writing a journal about the nature of Western/American political storytelling or news-consciousness and culture-exposure and how chess-IQ for social-media offered us new and 'cool' ideations of human exchanges fostered by interactions-romance in the post-9/11 era. I met a beautiful Romanian waitress in Transylvania who'd been impressed by my comics-stories about places in the West like Belfast, Brussels, and Berlin.

WAITRESS: You've become something of a cyber-rendition of James Bond, no?
ME: Certainly; in fact, perhaps you've become something of an 'avatar' to me (hmm).
