What I think the Chess 'puzzle' represents....
Nine... Sixty.
960
The Endless Night and the Flower Game.
960 instances, potential permutations, of our existence.
960 versions of Cayde.
960 versions of us.
[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess960]Chess960[/url]
Is a variant created to solve the dilemma of Chess. The dilemma of Chess, as Bobby Fischer critiqued, is the game is solved. Improvisation beyond the meta, is an indicator for Human error.
Thus, Chess is more about who loses rather than who wins....
IF the variables remain static, you can make the right move OR the wrong move. And victory is mostly governed via memorization and pattern recognition.
Now, arguably the only thing that changes with the 960, is the scale of that illusion, as the back line randomization can only have 960 permutations mirrored on both sides.
Though for the purposes of Human competition, it would create a much more honest game with each starting position representative of the scale of options for the traditional configuration.
Chosen at the start of each instance or game.
That's the idea of it.
As it relates to "The Endless Night" - our existence is a looping simulation, there's different Saints as we learned in Echoes. There's different Caydes as he indicates in his own words, [i][b]"I hope I get it right [u]this time[/u]".[/b]

The Pieces ARE NOT random as is being said. EVERYONE gets the same 60 pieces as follows: White Pawns - 15 Conversion Pawns - 8 Deletion Pawns - 7 White Rooks - 3 White Knights - 14 Black Knights - 2 White Bishops - 9 White Queens - 2 Things to note: 1 Queen is found in CoB - my theory is it represents Savathun. 1 Queen is found amongst the secrets in the Nether - Mara Sov Both Black Knights are found in the Edz... now in the Dark Forest the shadows might confuse you but the other one is clearly Black/Gray as the base is a different color. So, I might be wrong about there being 2 Black Knights... but there is at least 1 for sure. 9 Bishops - most likely represents the Nine. 3 Rooks - my theory is; represents... 3 disciples of the Gardener. 7 Deletion Pawns - 7 deaths next year. 8 Conversions - 8 people will switch sides This is complete speculation, 14-15 White Knights? I have no clues to what that might represent. And in fact, the theory might be coincidence respective the values correlating to people. They might be a cipher (key) or puzzle - the metrics. 😇👍💠 2nd Note: The King is the only piece missing. Because there's never been a king... yet 👀. When it comes to the Flower Game. We can change that. The more I ponder about it, I only think there is actually ONE BLACK KNIGHT, the shadows in the Dark Forest are probably meant to confuse us. IF there is ONE Black Knight... that represents our character. "The Knife". They're all white pieces except for 1. And we've been a pawn/tool since the beginning... The Winnower doesn't need an army (black)... the God of "Nothing" & "no one". Just a Knife. Us. The Black Knight. One of the conversions too... I think there can be overlap. For example, a white pawn converted into the sole Black Knight (Us). Or A Rook that's actually a White Pawn that gets deleted. [spoiler](Mara Sov)[/spoiler] Or Bishops that get converted into White Pawns (The fractured factions of the Nine). Or A White Pawn that advances to the back line black side? Possible Spoilers: [spoiler]That's Crow I think. I'm taking a little liberty... because a pawn becomes a Queen when that happens, but I interpret that as Crow becoming the FIRST Awoken King by the end of next year - my theory.[/spoiler] 3rd Note: My analysis was fairly straight forward: here's how you could replicate it. I reviewed 7 different guides 'showing' acquisition of all the pieces. "Showing" being relevant... as for most of the pieces in the videos it showed each piece being acquired. I was able to compare each video section by section to confirm the pieces were not random. The outliers were the 9 pieces found from the Nether secrets... ONLY one video ACTUALLY 'showed' all 9 pieces. However, by cross referencing the excerpts for the secret gained pieces in the other 6 videos and against my own tally, as I did it, I was able to confirm those pieces are also the same for everyone. I tallied the sections in each guide... then made sure each tally equaled 60. Then combined the metrics for each section to get the full breakdown of pieces. I was going to be lazy about it... but Eso's vid didn't show every secret piece. Fallout's vid... not every secret piece. Kackis... not every piece. GamerTV... nope. 2 more ectaras, lol. But I found one that did. I couldn't be lazy about it. I did my homework.
