Caïssa is the personification of Chess.

She is also the heart and spirit of chess. All chess players strive to appease Caïssa.

I always figured the Tenth Muse was named Rollo!

I think Rollo was around 60th on 61st . He just had delusions of grandeur.

Nice hat.

I have absolutely no idea who either he or Fred might be.

Shrug.  I guess it's not a chess hat then?

Hello! I was reading Jones' poem "Caïssa" and I was wondering who is this Colin referred to after the description of the pieces:

From them the British nymphs receiv'd the game,

And play ech morn beneath the crystal Thame;

Hear then the tale, which they to Colin sung,

As idling o'er the lucid wave he hung.

Can you help me?
