The first group game was Fire of Air with the Ptah marker placed in the house of Libra within the Fire sub-angle of the Air board. Performing a divination with a game of Enochian Chess starts with choosing the appropriate board and sub-angle setup for the question. He and I played a game which ended in a draw when I was down to two bare Kings. Though not a decisive loss for me, it was a fairly close game all things considered.īoth of the group games were actually divinations, a fact which we didn’t emphasize while the games were in progress. While no pair or group of people sat down and actually recorded an “official” game for the Congress, there was one visitor to the suite who had made his own Enochian Chess boards and pieces (alas, he did not have those with him!). To my surprise and delight, all of those moves were in fact legal moves. The number of moves made across the two games totaled 92, but it was a rather uneven split with 16 peaceful moves in the first game while the second game went on for a slogging battle of 76 moves.
We had 45 people sign up for the Congress, each of whom made at least one move in one of the two group games in progress throughout the weekend. The Enochian Chess Congress held at PantheaCon 2015 in the Circle of Cerridwen/ suite was a great success.
