Is it a conspiracy theory, the truth or just a coincidence? I think I will leave that up to you to decide. It is said that the game we've come to know and love was a carefully reconstruction of the game whose orgins date back to India and littered with symbology of the Illuminati.
Why would the Illuminati go through such efforts over a mere a game? Well that question is easy to answer.
As with all Illuminati dealings, metaphores rule and it is their way of letting the world know that they are indeed present. The Illuminati pride themselves as being free thinkers of the highest regards and the ability to manipulate things into serving a common purpose. Even if you don't openingly admit it, when you think of Chess don't you think of it as an intellectual game? No? Have you never refered to one's style of play as brilliant, genius or highly craftful?
The first metaphore is the board itself. The classic black and white checkered style is coincidal with majority of every Grand Lodge of modern day freemasonry, the floor taking the place of the board. And then there's the title Grandmaster. The highest honor given to a Chess player is also the highest given amongst Lodge.
Conspiracy theory, the truth or just coincidence?
Another is the cross upon the King's crown. The Knights Templar insignia was that of the cross and their purpose was the protection of their high nobility, in this case meaning the pope. For what purpose is the cross on the King. Is the cross not a symbol God, and is not God a symbol of protection? Along with the obvious Knight, the egyption hat of the Bishop and even the Rook all hold ties to the Illuminati's symbology.
Is our game indeed a metaphore brought along by the Illuminati??? Like I said in the beginning, I will let you decide.

the stuff you listed can't possibly be considered valid reasons for the existence of the conspiracy discussed.
nice user name by the way.
Originally posted by kushBURNINstrongmmm, i am, not sure about links to masonry, although the subject itself interests me greatly, however the present day chess board is one of design. whether this has been influenced by freemasonry, i also would like to know. For example it is historically understood that the game originated in India, and like much of Indian culture was seized upon by the Arabs and it entered Europe. the original queen, was not a queen at all, but a vasier (spelling???), the kings right hand man. the rook of course is from the Arabic (ruhk) meaning chariot. Indeed i have a chess set from Tunisia, in which the rooks are war elephants, the king does not wear a cross and the bishops are Corinthian pillars as one would find in a temple. If you can throw any light on the changes as it entered Europe then you may have a case, why the vasier became a queen, why rooks were changed from chariots, war elephants, why the bishops hat is shaped as it is etc etc

Originally posted by kushBURNINstrongI would have thought that Chess pre-dated the illuminati? You could possible more pervasively argue that it probably was Chess playing mystics armed with a glad bag of ancient traditions that gave rise to illuminism and the illuminati, not the other way round.
THERE IS ALOT MORE TO THE BREAKDOWN OF THE GAME AS FAR AS THE ILLUMINATI IS CONCERNED, BUT THAT'S ALL I DECIDED TO POST. THANKS ABOUT THE USERNAME LOL, I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF FRESH
WELL LIKE ROBBIE ABOVE STATED, A LOT ABOUT THE GAME HAS TRANSFORMED SINCE ITS INCEPTION. SOME COULD THESE LATTER CHANGES WERE BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE PERSUASION OF 'THE ALL SEEING EYE', WHILE OTHERS COULD ARE ARGUE ITS NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT THE GOVERNORS OF THE MLB ARE TRYING TO DO WITH THE NEW RULES IMPLEMENTED INTO THIS GENRE OF BASEBALL
