   I've always considered good chess players to be VERY strategically 
minded. Not only do you have to understand the power of the different 
pieces, but you have to know how to use them effectively, you have to 
make tough decisions and sacrifices, and you have to be able to 
predict the moves of your opponent. 


Me:
I agree with the Alien.  And who says Kasparov *wouldn't* have made a great 
military leader?  Didn't Kings play chess to help them with their military 
strategy?  And Ron is not only talented at wizards' chess, but he's very into 
professional Quidditch, so I'm sure he does know a lot of Quidditch 
strategies, aside from chess strategy.  He's played Quidditch at home with 
his brothers practically his whole life.  At least one of the older two 
brothers was on the Gryffindor team, and Fred and George as well.  Ron would 
have learned a lot from them too.  So Ron definitely has more than just chess 
skills going for him.
