Abstract: We derive presentations for Moufang loops of type $M(G,2)$, defined by Chein, with $G$ finite, two-generated. We then use $G=S_3$ to visualize the smallest non-associative Moufang loop.

Review text

O. Chein and H. O. Pflugfelder proved that the smallest nonassociative Moufang loop is of order 12 and is unique up to isomorphism. In this paper a new, visual description of this loop is given.
