" The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chessboard, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem...I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists," Marcel Duchamps ( 1887-1968 ), French Dada Artist,Chessmaster & Philanthropist.
