Is there any link or something?

"Morality" refers to doing good (as opposed to evil.)  XIV is the number 14 in Roman numerals.  George has chess poetry series of which this is the 14th edition.

@Greg,

In a Chess context, Morality XIV touches on philosophers and immortality of Kevin and

Aurelian dialogue in current Nextchess topic.

Variantists, from T.R. Dawson to Betza to Gilman to Winther, must be like Vladimir Nabokov's gods and goddesses ''there they were, aloof and mute, playing a game of Worlds, promoting Pawns to ivory Unicorns and ebon Fauns'' in this one's third lead-in 'Pale Fire'.

Excellent use of words and ideas, I must admit.
