Confessional Chess



For this, one person or a group of people will be assigned a chess board.  Each white piece on the board represents a chief positive feature and each black piece represents a chief negative feature of that person or group. The idea is to identify a set of defining positive traits and defining negative traits.
Queen: trait that is far reaching
King: pivotal trait that everything else is built on. If this goes so would everything else.
Bishop: source of guidance
Knight: core essence
Castle: something you are building, or something that is “building” in you.
Pawn: habit, thing you do with repetition.

For each piece do an aesthetic study on that trait. That means to put together a collection of things that are aligned to the same general nature, or aesthetic of that trait. This will help you really get to know those traits.
Finally, play the game and interpret what it means when one piece takes out another. What would be the real life translation of that interaction?
