Thanks for the feedback, Elia. I think, however, that you may have 
missed the central point in this theory: Ron's going to die because 
it's the only way he'll be better than his brothers. Ron has 
demonstrated enough that he resents being in the shadows (of his 
brother's deeds and, afterwards, of Harry's deeds, as stated by 
Hermione in GoF). If Ron dies a heroic death which brings about the 
destruction of Voldemort, there's not a single thing any of his 
brothers can do to top it. Thus, Ron's life-long wish would be granted.

The chess idea was meant as an example. Reflecting on my previous 
theory posts, however, it seems I always have trouble with the 
examples, so maybe I'll stop using them.

Anyway, hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
