The Chessy Outlook Of The Yoruba Kingdom ~ By Jawolusy by PediakAuthor: 8:09am On Nov 02, 2021
In reaction to an earlier post on Nairaland, titled; Throwback Photo Of Alaafin Of Oyo, A Diviner And Legendary Capt. William A. Ross. ~
https://www.nairaland.com/6828741/throwback-photo-alaafin-oyo-diviner .

A picture on that thread inspired me to write this piece;

Have a look at the attached picture, that's a typical Chess formation at play here; On the 8th rank, the Kingdom was guarded by the Rooks (right and left), the King, the Queen, the Knight (Guards), & the visiting Missionaries (Bishops) would be on that same 8th rank.

And on the seventh rank, and on the E-file; that's the E7 Pawn well-positioned ahead of the Black King @E8. undecided grin And it's likely the E7 pawn have just moved to E5. grin

This is another confirmation that Chess explains many things about humanity just as earlier hypothesized by Jawolusy via his #ThroneGameChess & #ChessOfNature.

Lest I forget, the beauty of the Yoruba ethnicity is in its epic culture, moral ethics, and traditions.

Cheers grin
