Chess and Physics – Quite Generally.

“Chess seems to contain all the elements to which theoretical physics wants to reduce the real world – time, space, force and mass (material). Moreover, just as a two-dimensional shadow can be used to study the three-dimensional object it represents, the study of chess played on a two-dimensional plane (setting aside castling and certain knight moves) may assist in the exploration of the fundamental lynchpins of reality.”
