In case you're interested, your sig is false.

The "pigeon chess" concept is not one that originated with, or has been recorded as, something Russian president Vladimir Putin said about U.S. president Barack Obama, however. Like most such terms, it began much earlier as a more general put-down that over time was picked up and applied to various modern politicians. As far as we know, its earliest recorded expression came in a March 2005 user-submitted review of the book Evolution vs. Creationism: An Introduction on Amazon.com, which applied the imagery to a debate between the two camps referenced in the book's title:
Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.

The pro-creationist reviewers of this book clearly demonstrate this to be true.
