''Are we not drawn onward, we Few, drawn onward to new era?'' That whole question is a palindrome that chessists Lewis Carroll or Sam Loyd would appreciate. There are 42 letters (like Hitchhiker's) for the 42 lines in each CM. Like ''never odd or even'' it reads left to right or right to left, heh, symmetry. 'e to the (pi*i) equals minus 1' Euler realized over 200 years ago. It's less afield than a typical Gilman association to connect logically e with Rook (base 10 or base e), pi with Bishop (circling pathway), i with Knight (el otro numero), and Falcon minus 1 (the crux).
