The only way to lose is for the winning player to make a mistake....yes... One of those mistakes was Trump coming out as anti-vax during the roll out of the vaccine and afterwards.

Sometimes you have to watch your opponent try to force a mistake by gobbling up some unimportant pawns (sorry this sounds very harsh) but what you do not do is send out your Queen and Knight to protect pawns, because that gives your opponent an opening to slam a rook down to your king line and pin you with a bishop (or whatever). Yes it is harsh but I will stand by it, not every pawn was exposed, only the ones that never listen to reason...
