== By the Rebbe Rashab == The Rebbe Rashab would play chess on Nittel night, or stand near the players and offer various suggestions. On one occasion when his son, the Frierdiker Rebbe, was playing with the chossid Reb Elchanan Dov Marozov, the Rebbe Rashab approached and gave them various suggestions about the game, and afterward explained how these things are expressed in avodas Hashem and what could be learned from it. About these suggestions, the Rebbe said: "For the Rebbe Rashab, this was in a manner of 'from above to below.' He saw things as they are in ruchnius, and from this he knew how the game proceeds in gashmius."
