![]() With this coup de grace Bugs would turn the table and win the Jeux Nationale d’Échecs. The piece de resistance would come when Bugs turned his King into a Queen, thus doubling the power of his royals on the board. Bugs is not averse to using the wiles of a feminine influence on his opponents, choosing to trick the nimrods with a well-placed dress and some mascara. But the one move that Daffy could not counter would be the classic Bugs trick. Instead of the Rasputin defense, Bugs would switch the pieces on the board while Daffy is not looking. As he is not an academic, his tricks would all be mind games, rather than classical chess moves. Bugs is not really a smart character as much as he is clever. I get white! You get black! I get white! You get black! I get black! No, You get white! Bugs thus starts out with white. The argument goes as expected, with Bugs using his tricky switch. The bout begins with the decision of who gets white. Settling down for their bout, Bugs and Daffy are already unmatched. James: Bugs wins, but not for the reason you would expect.

With decades of outsmarting each other and various other people, they clearly understand the calculating nature of a game like chess. At what point is Bugs going to cackle as he sacrifices his second pawn? Is Daffy going to respond with a defensive maneuver of some sort? It’s this intimate understanding of the game that leads to some of its most famous matches. Our burning question this week… Who would win a game of chess, Daffy Duck or Bugs Bunny?Īllen: The key to being a successful chess player is not only an intimate knowledge of both the game and your opponent, but also a feel for the game’s overall trajectory. This week, we’re going to let our hair out, and we’re going to get loony, since we’re taking two television legends out of their underground holding pens and into our gladiatorial arena: Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. Besides, we here at Pop Modern have been feeling a bit stale lately, so we’ve decided to dig deeper into our pop culture roots to find a worthy Match-Up. ![]() But, sometimes it feels good to go with the easy path. ![]() What’s up, docs?
