Julian Assange Tweets Checkmate?

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?

This is about the turning point of the game (although arguably that doesn't happen for another few moves, when the white king is sufficiently out of danger to develop the queen's rook.)

The point is, Marshall developed this very devastating attack which he supposedly kept quiet about for years, but it has failed, and white's counterattack is about to begin.

If you're following conservative treehouse, that's probably a reference to Nunes discoveries, the IG document dump tonight, and the Uranium-1 related indictment in Maryland.

That is a personal opinion by a former ambassador, and not a legal one. It’s also not clear that Ecuador has made him a member of the diplomatic staff. As an ordinary Ecuadorian citizen he wouldn’t have any special protection once he leaves the embassy.

On thing that just occurred to me that you might not be interpreting correctly. White is moving toward the top of your monitor, and the piece with the cross is the king, not the queen.

If it’s from a famous game, it should be easy to find out who wins.

Famous chess games can be used to encode and encrypt. It could be nothing more than a message key or a brag.

It’s been figured out what the game was. Marshal vs Capablanca It was the Marshall Gambit which proved deficient in later years and I don’t think it’s used in serious games anymore. src Wikipedia.

That is a great find! Thanks for posting the link! The notes at the side are fascinating. Here's one...

Marshall is often quoted saying, "The hardest part of chess is winning a won game." While few can ever claim a won game against an openent like Capablanca, a game like this one reinforces Marshall's idea. Converting a winning attack into a lasting victory is one of the more difficult tasks a player has and one of the more profound lessons that chess, a game rich in life metaphors, offers.

If you try to google Frank Marshall, before you hit return google supplies more than half the suggested searches for zero’s mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, with ‘communist’ and ‘cia’ offered.

Is that where all these commies come from, CIA?

A champ (eg Trump) is facing a formidable opponent. The opponent has prepared a fiendish plan, and is carrying it out to perfection. But the champ is playing flawlessly. And slowly but surely the advantage slips away from challenger and the master is starting to apply an unstoppable pressure (eg IG report on its way, the Uranium-1 affair etc, etc).

If this still does not make any sense I suggest you start reading up on theconservativetreehouse.com. It is like a Tom Clancy novel - just that its real!!

Occam’s razor: Black Hats v. White Hats.

Next move: white pawn takes Black Queen.

Hmmmm.....

Not a chess player, but the message seems quite simple: White = White House
Black = BO’Bs cabal and those of the demons ilk

Traveled to the site regarding Marshall vs Capablanca to find the following there:

“Although disputed, the legend states that despite its strength, Marshall avoided playing this line in tournaments for nine years so he could spring it on the unsuspecting Capablanca.”

BO’Bs regime had control for 9 years. White House, Trump made an effort early on for this new residence, but found he lacked the skills to make it work; consequently, he folded and held his cards for the next round. He planned, studied, and learned what was needed only to return and be successful.

Julian A. must see the irony in this.

“Capablanca” roughly translates to “white hat”.
