Further
,
I
taught
Oppenheimer
the
chess
Adam
Strang
had
played
in
Cho-Sen
centuries
agone
.
It
was
different
from
Western
chess
,
and
yet
could
not
but
be
fundamentally
the
same
,
tracing
back
to
a
common
origin
,
probably
India
.
In
place
of
our
sixty-four
squares
there
are
eighty-one
squares
.
We
have
eight
pawns
on
a
side
;
they
have
nine
;
and
though
limited
similarly
,
the
principle
of
moving
is
different
.
Also
,
in
the
Cho-Sen
game
,
there
are
twenty
pieces
and
pawns
against
our
sixteen
,
and
they
are
arrayed
in
three
rows
instead
of
two
.
Thus
,
the
nine
pawns
are
in
the
front
row
;
in
the
middle
row
are
two
pieces
resembling
our
castles
;
and
in
the
back
row
,
midway
,
stands
the
king
,
flanked
in
order
on
either
side
by
"
gold
money
,
"
"
silver
money
,
"
"
knight
,
"
and
"
spear
.
"
It
will
be
observed
that
in
the
Cho-Sen
game
there
is
no
queen
.
A
further
radical
variation
is
that
a
captured
piece
or
pawn
is
not
removed
from
the
board
.
It
becomes
the
property
of
the
captor
and
is
thereafter
played
by
him
.
Well
,
I
taught
Oppenheimer
this
game
--
a
far
more
difficult
achievement
than
our
own
game
,
as
will
be
admitted
,
when
the
capturing
and
recapturing
and
continued
playing
of
pawns
and
pieces
is
considered
.
Solitary
is
not
heated
.
It
would
be
a
wickedness
to
ease
a
convict
from
any
spite
of
the
elements
.
And
many
a
dreary
day
of
biting
cold
did
Oppenheimer
and
I
forget
that
and
the
following
winter
in
the
absorption
of
Cho-Sen
chess
.
But
there
was
no
convincing
him
that
I
had
in
truth
brought
this
game
back
to
San
Quentin
across
the
centuries
.
He
insisted
that
I
had
read
about
it
somewhere
,
and
,
though
I
had
forgotten
the
reading
,
the
stuff
of
the
reading
was
nevertheless
in
the
content
of
my
mind
,
ripe
to
be
brought
out
in
any
pipe-dream
.
Thus
he
turned
the
tenets
and
jargon
of
psychology
back
on
me
.
"
What
's
to
prevent
your
inventing
it
right
here
in
solitary
?
"
was
his
next
hypothesis
.
"
Did
n't
Ed
invent
the
knuckle-talk
?
And
ai
n't
you
and
me
improving
on
it
right
along
?
I
got
you
,
bo
.
You
invented
it
.
Say
,
get
it
patented
.
I
remember
when
I
was
night-messenger
some
guy
invented
a
fool
thing
called
Pigs
in
Clover
and
made
millions
out
of
it
"
"
There
's
no
patenting
this
,
"
I
replied
.
"
Doubtlessly
the
Asiatics
have
been
playing
it
for
thousands
of
years
.
Wo
n't
you
believe
me
when
I
tell
you
I
did
n't
invent
it
?
"
"
Then
you
must
have
read
about
it
,
or
seen
the
Chinks
playing
it
in
some
of
those
hop-joints
you
was
always
hanging
around
,
"
was
his
last
word
.
But
I
have
a
last
word
.
There
is
a
Japanese
murderer
here
in
Folsom
--
or
was
,
for
he
was
executed
last
week
.
I
talked
the
matter
over
with
him
;
and
the
game
Adam
Strang
played
,
and
which
I
taught
Oppenheimer
,
proved
quite
similar
to
the
Japanese
game
.
They
are
far
more
alike
than
is
either
of
them
like
the
Western
game
.
