Patriarchal Chess

Since I am one who likes to think (a lot), the game of chess naturally appeals to me. Recently, I was playing a good game of chess when I realized a startling fact: even the ancient game of chess promotes the philosophy of feminism!

In the game of chess, the king's army is not alone in fighting the battles. The king sends his queen to join the royal army on the battlefield, while he stays behind in safety! The queen must fight to protect the king! This is a perversion of God's plan as laid out in Scripture. God designed men to be the protectors and defenders of women and children.

I propose that the game of chess be modified in accordance with the principles of Scripture. Let us henceforth play only "Patriarchal Chess". The rules are the same except that the king and queen switch places. In "Patriarchal Chess", the queen is the most precious of all pieces, and the valiant king must fight to protect and defend her!

This is a simple, yet powerful, way to stay true to biblical principles, even in our playtime.
