AS IT IS now played in both hemispheres on this planet, chess is
war, total war, a war of annihilation. The opposing player is not
just the opponent, he becomes the enemy who must be destroyed. Was
it always like this? The thesis of this book is that it was not,
that in its origins, in a faintly remembered time, chess was
primarily a game of self-revelation used by initiates to the
priesthood to study and transcend the internal warfare going on
inside all of us all the time. Invented thousands of years ago,
chess was played to teach initiates the art of esoteric warfare.
