@old-guy-photos,

You're right. Good, bad or indifferent ... we are what we are. The reason that we can read Shakespeare, or Homer, and understand their stories is because the fundamental nature of humanity is genetically hard-wired ... we don't change. Superficial changes in culture and technology only change the manner in which we articulate our motivations ... mere nuances of the game.

Making a chess board of marble, or plastic, doesn't change the moves you can make.
