Don't bother wasting your time learning about her 2Q. She's just a made up fictional character. There is no place for in the beautifully logical, and objective game of chess.

from my chess hero , Mikhail Nehemovich Tal
" It so happens that i have often been before Caissa's sacrificial altar and i have given many sacrifices to her "
Greek classics.
definitely cool stuff; If I can read into the story a little bit- when chess was younger it was considered a bit of a way to flirt.
in the days of chivalry, women played it as avidly as guys.
anyways. like anything wiki allows you to get the gist of it.

I think the myth sticks because beautiful women and the game of chess are both considered hard to win. but wise one Vlad says, it is of No value as its just a fictional character.
so true.
funny how much ruckus a fictional character can create. 
oh.ha
in the space of writing it up. there seems to be a tussle.
I guess I was supposed to let someone else look it up.
oh well the deed is done.
caissa like the OP is innocent of much of the recent nonsense.

marilyn monroe played chess too.
its considered blaspheme to pay homage to anyone.
In the three years or so that I joined chess.com, I have posted a few threads of my own and ,have read hundreds of posts about various aspects pertaining to this wonderful game of ours. Yet not once has anyone ever acknowledged or even mentioned the Goddess of our game. Caissa, who loves chess and all chess players. However if you cross her either by being rude, dishonest,or unfaithful to the integrity of this game, she will wreck havoc upon you,and you will be punished! So therefore, All Hail Caissa , our true Queen Of chess!
