Chestykoff

"To the ignorant outside world, two men over a chessboard look like a pair of dummies. And yet, inside the pale automata, dynamos pound incessantly. Here is nothing less than a silent dual between two human engines using and abusing all the faculties of the mind - the will, the imagination, logic, memory, caution, cunning, daring, foresight, hindsight, perspective, detail, unity, and courage - in an effort to outwit, corner and demolish the not-less-that-hateful opponent. It is warfare in the most mysterious jungles of the human character."

Alfred Kreymborg "Chess Reclaims a Devotee"
