Maybe - but the real great grandmasters do their best to help
you find your path :-)

  But what if the grandmaster is helping you find the path to "checkmate"?

Interesting point, Mark.  Checkmate is not the end to the chiarscuro of
a two dimensional context, but as you obviously know, it is a "sundoor"
through which one transverses to the next plane.  I am not being so
conventional as to make reference to death here, I am in fact unfolding
the very elemental truth that DaVinci ala Rene Daumal and Father Sogol
tried to impart ... and why in his own limited way Ugly Bob seemed to
be grasping for significance when he spoke of "Mount Holly."  The
"Sundoor" is the holy vehicle to enllightenment.  The steps appear
without complexity but each step (for lack of a better word) is
monumental.  Firstly, to observe the "Sundoor," secondly, to mount it,
thirdly to maneuver in/through/with/as a result of being it and finally
... well ... that's the mystery.  I have no doubt that one still needs
sustenance during this non-event-eventful-none-the-less-or-more and
have been told that Vorlon BBQ is the dish of choice since just as a
Vorlon will appear to ens observer as that observer's own concept ....
so too the BBQ.  Often hempsauce is an after thought.  And time being
elastic ... well you get what I mean.
