In the beginning..........

In the beginning..... the land was full of void.
And the Cassia spoke and said "let there be squares 8 by 8 and of different colors to confound
them." and so it was...
And they said "Let us make them pieces in our own image so as to confuse them more."
and so that was.
And then they said. "Let us make rules so we can punish them when they breakith them."
and so they created rules and the rules ruled.
and they said. "Let us call this Checkers, no wait Chess, and that was done also.
"Lets make a thing called "Castling" to confuse even the most intell of them."
And so it was called Castling and not Rookistering, which even confused the gods.
Ah and lets have "En passant" to confuse the peasants even more cause they be well dumber than the dumbist in the land." And so it was and in a foreign tough as well.
And so the chessboard as it became called became corrupt and full of vicious things and tricksters ran about it chasing fair ladies with long waving hair and no one obeyith thy rules.
And so it came to pass that the Cassia said. "Let us turn these idiots into wormwood as to harden them as to not move freely without our own hands. And so it was done. And all the pieces became brainless wood.
And they said. "Let us call ourselfs "grandmaster" cause only the gods can play Chess."
and so it was written in stone and clay and whatever else they could find something to write on.
And so be it, be it you like it or not.
