Guys, I just realized. When they're talking about chess, they're actually talking about real life! It's like a metaphor! Holy shit. Is this show clever or what? I'm not even sure if I can look at at that scene the same way again knowing that it's all symbolism.

I know this is pasta but the metaphor is meant to be clumsy. He's a gangbanger, a pawn in a larger game, with no education on the road to fucking nowhere, but it's still meant to show he's more thoughtful and self-aware than the rest of them even if he struggles to articulate it.
Just because the writers create a stupid character does not mean they themselves are stupid.

>It's supposed to be bad :^)
>That episode of The Sopranos where Christopher dreams hell is an Irish bar
>Tony tells Doctor MILFy he doesn't consider himself hellbound as he doesn't take pleasure from killing
>Tony and Big Pussy relish murdering Matt Bevilaqua for his attempt to kill Christopher
>Afterwards Tony and Pussy celebrate with dinner at an Irish bar n' grill, shot of Pussy's head framed by stained-glass resembling devil horns

Nigga, if you know David Simon, you KNOW that scene was purposely written to be clumsy.

Considering the rest of The Wire's themes are generally introduced in a pretty goddamn subtle way, then yes, I think we can assume that this single scene was supposed to be a clumsily introduced metaphor by a poorly educated moron who was just starting to realise the truth of his existence.
>Yo bodie, you ever feel like pop pius XI nigga? Like when that mofucker invoked the social encyclical Rerum Novarum; nigga tried to change the world, you know, but in the end everythin stayed the same.
Yes that would fit the characters much better.
Good morning wirefags.
