You're right,
no more chess for now(?), although IT IS (*)..(also) 8x8!!

P.S. Nick, when in doubt, (when opening chess/or vms) ALWAYS CONTROL 
your CENTER BOARD! aarrGGggggg - cannot believed I can relate these 
two things

 Ruy López de Segura - who wrote his famous book on chess in 1561 - was 
 definitely a priest (he also tried to become a bishop but was turned down) 
 - but a Jesuit priest? No. :-(
 
 BTW, chess (as we recognise it today) only emerged at the end of the 15th 
 century. Here's Gareth Williams' accessible account of early modern chess 
 (including a tournament from 1575 where Ruy got beaten):-
