I Like the way that Rudy plays Chess:

I have a pretty good idea how it's played.

2 sides

Multiple different pieces with their different movement possibilities

You try and trap the other teams "king"

I think I got it, right?
Kind of amazing that it needs to be explained, but the reason people equate this sort of thing to chess is that it's a very complex game where players are rewarded for the ability to anticipate their opponents reactions to their moves. The idea that you could win this sort of complex exchange by reducing your game to checkers is ludicrous.

DL is not winning by playing a simpler game than his opponents. He's winning by doing a masterful job at the same game everyone else is playing.

Uhhh. I'm fairly sure Cy is just messing around. It's Cy so you can't be sure but I think you just got flown over.

I thought the object was to protect your Queen at all costs.

If what you are suggesting about Cy is true then I would consider him one of the biggest morons I have ever encountered. I don't think it's true, though.
 
DL isn't doing anything more complicated or strategic, he is just taking his time. Baking analogies are the only ones that apply.

DL baking while everyone else using microwaves.
