Enochian chess

Enochian chess was created by William Wynn Westcott, one of the three founders of the Golden Dawn, but the rules of the game were probably never completed by him.

The main identifications of the pieces were: The chess board itself was also varicolored, and divided into four sub-boards in which each of one of the four elemental colors predominated.

[3] The rules of the game were partially derived from shatranj and other historical forms of chess; the queen is played like an alfil, with a two square diagonal leaping move.

MacGregor Mathers, who finalised the game's rules, was known to play with an invisible partner he claimed was a spirit.

Joseph Hone, biographer of William Butler Yeats, claimed, "Mathers would shade his eyes with his hands and gaze at the empty chair at the opposite corner of the board before moving his partner's piece".
