Hidden Chess Career of Marcel Duchamp How Art Imitates Chess

" (...) The beauty of chess is close to that in poetry. Chess figures are an alphabet that shapes thoughts, and these thoughts express themselves abstractly through the visual design that occurs on the chessboard, just like in poetry... After years of closeness with chess players and artists, I can honestly say that not all chess players are artists, while not all artists are chess players."

(M. Duchamp)
