<b>How are ChessBase and Exxon alike? </b>Let's count the ways.<p>(1) <a href="http://en.chessbase.com/post/breaking-news-world-championship-2014-in-norway">Oil_Rig</a>. Like Exxon, Chessbase indicative of f.i.d.e. thinks it's funny to play Chess on oil rig, never minding that Norway gets survey-listed as ideal country to live without sludge.<p> (2) Exxon knew in 1980s that climate change is brought about by carbon emissions decimating species and eventually humans. Likewise Chessbase has known for generation there are many better ways to play Chess. <a href="http://en.chessbase.com/post/ken-regan-s-tandem-pawn-chess">CVs_Chessbase</a>. There were three CVs at Chessbase in 2014: above Tandem Pawn, Option Chess, and Switch Side Chain Chess. By 2015 they had dropped the subject as threat to their vested simplicity. <p> (3) The first modern Chess champion was Steinitz winning the title in 1886, and Standard Oil started in the 1880s too later becoming Exxon. <p> (4) Jetting about to distant tournaments whether outdoor sport like soccer or indoor sport like Chess as presenting incredibly damaging carbon footprint has to go. <p> (5) Another oil company Sinclair upended USA President Harding in 1920s by Teapot Dome, and today texan Exxon and Saudi Arabia (historic chess region) are hand in glove. Who's next?
