Now, the king, he move one space any direction he damn choose, 'cause he's the king. But he trying to get your king too, so you gotta protect it. You get the other dude's king, you got the game. See this? This the kingpin, aright? And he the man. Bodie: Like your uĭ'Angelo: Now look, check it, it's simple, it's simple. And they run so deep, he really ain't gotta do shit.

In any field.ĭ'Angelo: Now look, check it, it's simple, it's simple. But then you don't see talent like Fischer's very often either. You don't see that kind of thing very often.
