Keith Bitely suggests that white is all wisdom and good, while black
"could signify a lack of wisdom and goodness."

Well, this sounds all right for the goodness part, but not for the
wisdom. In the Bible, the Tree of Knowledge (wisdom, same damn thing in
this particular case) of Good and Evil was NOT to be eaten from, thereby
signifying evil (as the first sin). Also, in this day and age, knowledge
is power. Power is a promise of the BLACK, not white, Lodge.

Also, of the fact that Cooper is using black in chess rather than white,
I like Keith's idea about Coop being "in the dark," but doesn't white
make the first move in chess (I may be wrong, for I haven't played in
years)? Since WE started the game, he took white.
