XIII International Cartoon Contest "Independence" Association of Cartoonists, Kiev, Ukraine
Political games have a lot in common with chess - one of the oldest and
most popular games on the planet. Quite a few of the terms of this game become
a part of our life and have come to designate events and situations that, at
first glance, are not related to chess. One of these expressions is "The
Knight's move".
All manners of intrigues to protect their economic interests, lobbying,
promotion to higher positions, the manipulation of public opinion, unfair
methods of election campaigns, backroom agreements, corruption schemes and
other multipass combinations in political games ...
The winner is the one who will make "the knight's move", who
will take into account all the possible actions of the opponent and choose a
plan that leads this person to victory. Unfortunately, these combinations are
not always legitimate and honest.
Our contest is about the game of political chess. The field of this game
are our countries and continents, and the figures are all of us. What is a
game? Who are the players? What are the rules and techniques of the game? What
drives this game: ambitions, passion, greed or lust for victory? What is the
result of this game and does it have the winners?...
