Julian Assange Tweets Checkmate?
Twitter ^

Posted on 01/12/2018 10:41:11 PM PST by MNDude

Assange just tweeted a picture of a chess board. And that's an expert at chess, but it looks like the black player has one or two moves remaining. What's happening?

It looks to me like the White player only has a few moves left. Black will bring down it’s castles and check mate white.

It’s a famous game. (Capablanca v. Marshall, 1918) It’s whites move in this position, and white wins, but I’m not sure of what meaning there is supposed to be behind it.

You are right. Does not look good for white. What is he saying?

It’s an interesting chess position, but one problem...

Whose move is it?

*NEW* 4/26/17 FISC Court Order c/o Judicial Watch:

1) The FISC busted Obama before in 2011 going back to 2008.

2) The NSA IG (under direction of Rogers) investigated 702 "about" queries from 2015-2016 and found a whopping 85% of Obama queries were not legal.

3) The Court ruled that the NSA could not give FBI anything more until Rogers' new rules were adopted.

"At the October 26, 2016 hearing, the Court ascribed the government's failure to disclose those IG and OCO reviews at the October 4, 2016 hearing to an institution "lack of candor" on NSA's part and emphasized "that this is a very serious Fourth Amendment issue."

Here’s your answer: Marshall vs. Capablanca.

Hmmm, thanks for the tip. I’ll have to dig out my chess game and play it out. Who’s move is it? I was thinking Black moves castle to bin the bishop. If it Whites move I don’t see a good move at all for White.

This is my first hearing of that. Of course, Assange could be referring to his own situation in the embassy there.

I think it is Whites move. I’d move Whites queen to threaten the black bishop (pining the bishop to Black’s queen) but I’ll bet that is not the game winning move lol.

The Marshal gambit : https://youtu.be/eaUHECHqcWs?t=440

The irony is that Marshal laid the trap ... and lost the match. Perhaps that is the point?

One of the most famous defensive games ever. White is protecting himself against a preplanned attack (the Marshall gambit) and looks at times to be down and out, but plays a flawless defensive game and comes out on top. What does it mean? I don't have to spell it out, do I? 😃
