Jacques de Cessoles was a 13th-century French cleric and author. He is best known for his moral allegory "The Game of Chess," which used a chess game as a metaphor for the struggles of human life and the virtues and vices that people encounter. The game was used to teach moral lessons, with each piece representing a different type of person or moral quality. "The Game of Chess" was extremely popular in the Middle Ages and was widely translated and adapted in various forms throughout Europe. It is considered one of the earliest examples of a "book of conduct" and is an important piece of medieval literature and social history.
