Greetings filipas (Mark),
It's nice to have your voice heard on these forums. I personally have been greatly persuaded by your book, the Hebrew letter correspondences for each of the Major Arcana that you describe make great sense to me. Interesting that Christian Cabala starts aleph with the Fool whereas the more likely correspondence has aleph starting with the Magician...
But, to get back on topic, as to the chess symbolism, I would be interested to determine if the original card artists had any intent of trying to use the cards in actually playing chess or perhaps combining tarocchi the game with chess the game. Anyone have ideas in that regard?
