Y2K Diary [ 04.05.00 ] 125. Chess (Part 1) Chess is a game played on a square board of 64 black and white chequer squares with 32 pieces of different values.  16 men each (apparently, but there is a Queen as well)  "Checkmate" signals the winner of a game. The game is almost emphatically subliminal and metaphysical.  For instance, a knight (horse) can only move within a definite pattern (L) clearly outlining a marine's cross or a celestial chart.  It's almost as if somehow, there was a hidden number skulking behind each shape.  As if a chess game and everything in it was a gigantic map to follow. An intrinsic map of the universe. NP related links: Tomorrow is another day. [ submit entry ]      [ contents ]      [ previous ]  [ next ]
