When? That could be a big issue. Also depending on his personality how would he use the knowledge gained?
That’s a good point. I suppose that for the sake of life experience, Prescott’s mind is sent from 1956 to Woodrow’s body in 1916. Given that he was a field officer during WW1—and therefore, not used to the political wheeling and dealing or the grand-scale coordination of American forces during wartime—having him inhabit the commander-in-chief’s body while it was going on might not have been the best move.
That could mean he might screw up Wilson's reelection. If he doesn't and assuming he accepts that US involvement in WWI is coming, especially with his experience of the conflict and knowledge of latter events I suspect he wouldn't leave the US army so abysmally unprepared. Wilson forbid any planning or preparation, despite involvement in the conflict becoming more and more likely, until after the actual dow.

Well that would cause chaos at any event going on at the time. Hopefully its not a continuous change, i.e. any time anyone tries to play chess the pieces turn into checkers/draught ones and vice versa.
Would this also occur in computer versions as I suspect a lot of people play that way now?

Oh, yeah; good questions. I suppose that it’s only a one-time change, as to prevent too much chaos and frustration on the part of the players. And it only happens to the physical pieces (which leaves the computer versions of both games safe).

'How Would A Conversation Between Abe Lincoln And FDR Look?'.
To be fair, even if it doesn't deserve its own standalone thread, it's probably a moment worth writing into an opportune ASB scenario somehow.

How about a conversation between Abe Lincoln and Barack Obama?

How about a conversation between Abe Lincoln and Barack Obama? Potentially, though Lincoln’s bigotry by modern standards coupled with his unawareness of how the world has changed in the hundred-and-fifty-something years since his death would make it awkward. Well, unless his ghost visits the White House and chats with Obama to congratulate him on his victory or something like that. Another interesting one I can think of is LBJ conversing with Obama, though that might also prove awkward unless he gets the apparition treatment, too.
