Brilliant analysis and subsequent position, Max Koval. However, could it not also be consonant with contemporary emphasis upon cults and conspiracies, the the bishop adjustment rule, which would render control along "theistic" or spiritual lines, to all of the white squares upon the board might not also represent the current world emphasis upon a Spirituality 2.0 or next-generation spirituality which would actually require an expenditure of energy to re-emphasize the importance of the spiritual or numinous in a secular world? And that this expenditure of energy would be masterfully represented by a player sacrificing momentum (in the form of one 'castling' like maneuver to switch one of the black bishops to white? Additionally, it has been many years since I have read the original thesis, and I was quite young, at the time, but... is it possible to perform a Bishop switch maneuver TWICE? And thus have a player be able to have TWO bishops operating along white squares? This is an intriguing perspective and again, thank you for the BRILLIANT and mind-expanding ideations!
