Women In Control: Questions about Female Supremacy

Screen 12 of 56

Western chess is believed to have been invented in the late 1400's in Spain or Italy. It was at this time that the Queen was introduced as the most powerful piece in the game. However, there are some chess scholars that actually believe that the Queen was reintroduced to the game by the west. In fact, there are those that say the patriarch of eastern culture perverted Chess into a game of war when in fact chess was originally invented as a Goddess女神 — a woman treated as divine worshipping game.The following is a quote from the book "Women in Chess".

"The Game is not one of war but one of Sensuality, Seduction, Fertility, Procreation, and Love. The pawns are females striving toward the ultimate goal of promotion to Queen and the possibility of union with the King; the Rook or Castle (the castle tower is an ancient symbol of the goddess女神 — a woman treated as divine, worn as a headdress by Ephesian Diana, Tyche, and the Syrian Cybele), is the protector of the width and breadth of the Chessboard, scanning for enemies while his Queen maneuvers toward unification with the other color's King. The Bishop once wore breasts乳房 — a woman's chest and was the original female element on the chessboard; alas, she lost her breasts乳房 — a woman's chest when the rise of patriarchy gave way to persecution of the Goddess女神 — a woman treated as divine and the concept of balance in The Game was subverted into one of war. Some of that original balance was restored to The Game in the late 1400's in Spain, where the Queen was first given sweeping new powers, perhaps a reflection of Spain's own powerful Queen Isabella."
