This is surprisingly astounding.
The ninth gate chess problem!
Sort:
That's astoundingly surprising.
The soundtrack of the movie is also astounding! Listen to it and you 'll like it probably...
Well, I had seen the movie (the ninth gate) and I quite liked it but to be honest, I 'd never notices that one of the engravings showed had actually CHESS involved! Yes, that's right and I found out by accident.
Well, let's have a look since it's interesting. The engraving showed is the following and it represents the 7th gate:
“The disciple outshines the master.”
As I write, the player is a King (white) versus a Begar (black) but the meaning behind it is that man can be equal to God with the proper knowledge. I thought it was quite fascinating and I wanted to share it with you, since chess is involved! Cheers
