To elaborate, this isn't a story with a writer asking for a way to punish his Arch-Rivals's sister's face or whatever, I'm asking if I should write a piece about a 'ritual' that uses chess.

Chess itself is rather an old game, so I think that that, combined with some logical thought, it couldplusible sounding ritual. What I would write about would include: how to set up the game, the dos and don'ts of a game, obviously the dangers of attempting the ritual, who you could be playing against and the reason to perform the ritual in the first place, possibly a closed question or one that has a numerical answer up to 40 (the number of pieces in chess) Below I will leave some initial draft lines, and let me know if I should go through with writing the piece, or not if there's anything written on the subject already.

'You should always play as black; white moves first in chess, and you want to seem welcoming, supplementing the offering you previously laid out.'

'You should never, under any circumstance, allow one of your opponent's pawns to reach your side; you would be letting them make a difficult crossing to the other side, and I don't need to tell you how important sybolism is in rituals.'

'Chess sets made from wood or ivory work best, remember, they are organic, and will help you in your ventre.'
