CAISSA

Chess – a miniaturized war – an arena for battles of intellect. Its players, so devoted, have even created their own deities, like Caissa, the goddess of the game. Born during the Italian Renaissance, Caissa is invoked when players face impossible decisions, traps, or sacrifices that could lead to victory as easily as defeat. Here, her name graces a classic plaid, its checks revealing a wealth of intricate details to the discerning eye – a reminder that the simplest surfaces can conceal profound complexity, often demanding divine insight.
