Fiction is permitted here such as Glenn Nicholls' 'Fortress of the Witch' or Paul Leno's 'Gridlock' or Betza 'Nemeroth', at the same time representative of actual CVs. The backdrop of Poems I to XX is that Chess changes every 500 years, regardless of technology or other customs.

https://www.chess.com/blog/batgirl/early-modern-chess-writers-and-poets.   In  primitive Europe 1200-1500,

supposedly the "Chess Moralities" some centuries were the second most hand-copied book after Bible by church scholars. 

So it was fun to update "moralities" 2000-2007 on the idea that Falcon, reaching the non-Biship-Knight-Rook squares

is somehow logical sequence. Connection with actual history is that past transitions in Chess were roughly  c. 500 Chaturanga, c. 1000 Shatranj, c. 1500 regina rabiosa.
