Chess In The Universe

The universe once had a symmetrical opening array of forces much like the symmetry of the original position in chess before the first pawn is pushed and then it exploded, hurling pieces of matter and energy across-the-board of spacetime (which science Has finally found out is flat) , and the simple symmetry was lost while complex entropy increased like a messy chess middlegame where tactics rule, sadly poor antimatter lost out early in this cosmic zero-sum game with its hidden quantum patterns that we struggle to recognize, so unlike the perfect information in a pattern of chess pieces.

In the endgame, the so-called 'heat death' of the universe billions of years from now, Nothing will matter, life will be checkmated just as surely as an implacable rook of doom exploiting a weak back rank mates a king.
