chess-punch

A chess-punch is a strategic move between two people who are battling for control / power over a situation or others. Where the attacker uses a combination of mind-games and plausible truths to out-strategize their opponent in a grab for power, to such a great extent that it disables their component and prevents them from making any further moves. In doing so - it can create great mental anguish in the mind of the person being attacked and can lead to mental illness.

Kareem was a workplace psychopath who placed great emphasis on the power that he had over situations and others. He had a background spreading democracy throughout old Russia, crazy stories that inferred past involvement with the intelligence community, a deep understanding of how to read others and knew how to use sub-text to alter the perceptions that others had of him, themselves and the situations that they were involved in. He was a scary guy.

Dave - who was new to the business - got off on the wrong foot with Kareem. Kareem was worried that Dave was trying to disempower him. Kareem used manipulative tactics to instil fear in Dave's mind and to out-strategize him - ultimately culminating in a chess-punch that disabled Dave and prevented him from being able to function.

Get the chess-punch mug.

everything is chess

Just like chess, every decision in the game of life has an impact on the rest of your game. One bad move and your entire game is ruined or in the least, it makes it hard to recover from that bad choice. Ask mom for $40 just so you can get 20$? Chess...Souping up the Chipolte girl just so she gives you more chicken, chess.

Yo, yesterday i noticed that a cop pulled out in back of me a few lights back. My tags are expired so I hit that left and a right into Bristol Farms, got out and kept it moving. Everything is chess.
