Aleister Crowley Diary Entry
Monday, 2 July 1923
Die Luna
12.30 a.m. Spent evening analysing & commenting on the consultation game. It is a gem of its kind, very simple & very subtle, with quite effective brilliancy. It illustrates with extraordinary clearness the soundness of my General Principles. I feel like saying that the secret of winning at chess is to concentrate on how, while meeting the immediate emergency, one may violate G.P. as little as possible. O.P.V. [Norman Mudd] is a superb ‘second man’ in the climber's sense. I can rely on him to help me out of mischief, to confirm my analysis, & also! to find a super-subtle winning move at the critical moment.
