This little game played by Ben and Widmore really get's old, doesn't it?

Let's look at some of the moves in this chess game.


Ben's critical moves:

Ben leaves the island and has Sayid help him to kill some of Widmore's
(pieces). [weakens Widmore's defense]

Ben kills Locke [CHECK!]

Ben kills Keamy's mercenaries [CHECK!]

Ben tried to "strengthen" Walt to use, but didn't work. [weakens Ben's defense]

Ben causes "the purge" [weakens widmore's defense]


Widmore's critical moves:

Widmore used Desmond's love for Penny to get him to "the swan" to turn the key
to bring down 815. [weakens Ben's defense]

Helps Locke to get back to the island [CHECK!]

Widmore's people capturing Sayid and sending him back in time to kill Ben
as a kid [CHECK!]

Keamy killing Alex [CHECK!]

Widmore funds DHARMA building weapons to battle Ben [weakens Ben's defense]
(what do you think he was doing "off the island"?)



Imploding of the Swan gave both players a move to "expose the island" so
Widmore could send Keamy but also brought penny to save the O6'rs

Jughead (move to be played soon)

Any other moves I have forgotten?
