33 222 64 86 211 47|The Masonic Game of Chess

"The chessboard consists of 64 squares alternately black and white and symbolizes the floor of the House of the Mysteries. Upon this field of existence or thought move a number of strangely carved figures, each according to fixed law. The white king is Ormuzd; the black king, Ahriman; and upon the plains of Cosmos the great war between Light and Darkness is fought through all the ages. Of the philosophical constitution of man, the kings represent the spirit; the queens the mind; the bishops the emotions; the knights the vitality; the castles, or rooks, the physical body. The pieces upon the kings' side are positive; those upon the queens' side, negative. The pawns are the sensory impulses and perceptive faculties--the eight parts of the soul. The white king and his suite symbolize the Self and its vehicles; the black king and his retinue, the not-self--the false Ego and its legion.

The game of chess thus sets forth the eternal struggle of each part of man's compound nature against the shadow of itself. The nature of each of the chessmen is revealed by the way in which it moves; geometry is the key to their interpretation. For example: The castle (the body) moves on the square; the bishop (the emotions) moves on the slant; the king, being the spirit, cannot be captured, but loses the battle when so surrounded that it cannot escape."

- Manly P Hall , Secret Teachings of All Ages


ABC 123

Now lets look at the chess phrases and pieces it's self.

Each player has 6 different types of pieces: 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops



222. There are 64 squares on a chessboard.

 The number 86 pops out the most.


Also, if you think about two isosceles triangles make a square. To make a square we require 2 right angled isosceles triangles so that right angle is made with 2 equal sides and joining 2 hypotenuses now we acquire a square with its prop... equal sides and each angle 90 deg.

211, the 47th prime


Also each player has 16 chess pieces each.
