Have you ever wondered why chess boards can fold? (1 Viewer)

In 1125, an English priest is credited with inventing the folding chess board. At the time, priests were prohibited from playing chess. To avoid detection, he cleverly disguised the board as a pair of books, allowing it to be hidden in plain sight. The folding design resembled two books stacked together, making it easy to conceal. This ingenious solution not only helped the priest evade the ban but also inspired the design of the modern folding chess board still used today.​

Pretty sure that's a sin of Omission and Commission. Hope it was worth an eternity in hell.
