Chess -- the game modeled after feudal Christianity -- illustrates several miracles and parables in the Bible. Here is a growing list of examples:
- multiple parables, including the Prodigal Son and the Parable of the Vineyard Workers, illustrate that victory (with faith) can be snatched at the last minute from the jaws of defeat.
- an often-overlooked move for easy checkmate exemplifies multiple miracles, such as the Miracle Catch of Fish simply by positing the net on the other side of the boat. (John 21:1-14)[1]
- the Parable of the Vineyard Workers is similar to the timelessness of chess, and how some apparently far behind can emerge victorious. (Matthew 20:1-12)[2]
