Chess is 'life in miniature' <p>The 13th-century Dominican friar Jacobus de Cessolis described the ways each chess piece contributes to a harmonious social order. </p> <ul> <li>He distinguished paws by trade and connected each to its royal partner. </li> <li>The first pawn is a farmer and tied to the castle because he provides food to the kingdom. </li> <li>The second pawn is a blacksmith who makes armour for the knight. </li> <li>The third is an attorney who helps the bishop with legal matters.</li> </ul> <p>Jacobus's allegory becomes the central message of the mini-series "The Queen's Gambit."
