Interview #319: Thus Spake the Creator, Entry #20

Question (What are his sources and inspirations?)

Are the names “Dragon”, “Coramoor” and “ Car’a’carn “ based on chess openings?

Robert Jordan

No.

REPORTER

This surprised me, there has been a thread around here in which was stated that Dragon, Caro-Kann and the Coramorant (I’m not sure of the last one) are chess openings. If he had answered with a yes then I would have asked why because they’re all variants played by black and rather defensive but I needn’t.

Footnote

It’s Cormorant .
