(If I double my pawns but develop my bishop is it worth it? etc)

Well, if you develop your bishop you can put yourself in a good position to attack with one of your knights on your next turn, so I say go for it.

It took me a moment to realize that this quote was about chess and not Dominion.

Thankyou.

I tried to go farther with it, but the parallels broke down: e.g., in Dominion, your opponent's knight can't take your pawns, but in chess it can; in chess you can upgrade your pawn to a knight or bishop, but in Dominion you can't; etc.

In chess, the back row on your opponent's side spans 3 Highways.

I deliberately didn't mention rooks or queens to cause confusion.

If you play mental tic-tac-toe, where you have to visualize the board, you can win a surprising amount of the time.

It took me a moment to realize that this quote was about chess and not Dominion.

By not capitalizing the card names, it didn't even occur to me that he could possibly be talking about Dominion, and spent a moment wondering why the world you thought that was about Dominion when it's clearly talking about chess.

Then it clicked, and I had a massive laughing fit.
