From van del' Linde 011 to '-I. J. R. Murray and Dr. Davidson, the mysterious oriental pro,renance of our war game has been traced and its development charted. Even in our time, advanced chess-playing technique has a metaphysical counterpart in the elaborate dissertations of the Bulgarian professor Bidev (in FIDE magazine) on the old Indian symbolism of numbers, natural elements and astronomy profoundly reo flected in the ancient const ruction of the game of chess.
