In 1971, when Nixon was still flying high, he got the honor of his own adulatory chess set.
In 1973, he got one devoted to Watergate.

Hm. When it comes to politics and chess, I prefer the musical.
(No, really. I do play chess and I do sing opera, and Chess has little to do with the game and everything with politics, and is musical rather than opera - but I really enjoyed it.)
