Julian Assange Tweets Checkmate?

Twitter ^

[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’s possible Assange is referring to himself and his white hair. Just a thought

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks MNDude. I'm getting ever more sure that he never comes through on these hints because the Clintons or the Soetero gang pay him off.

[TruthFactor]

It’s possible he’s referring to himself instead of President Trump. But, without any additional references we can’t be certain. Maybe he’ll follow up with something. Lots of rumors swirling around right now(SHTF?) with the IG report being released regarding FBI/DOJ, Urainium1, Clinton Foundation, etc.

Would love to see some perp walks soon. We definitely live in interesting times.

I saw this. I am leery of Assange because often like Hannity he tick-tocks and doesn’t deliver. Remember he had docs that would “bring down Hillary”?

[Lakeshark]

I am leery of him as well. But was totally impressed about his symbolism with this tweet. It's why I pinged you.

Assange is a huge liberal. But he also knows corruption and tyranny when he sees it. I think his quote was that "Hillary Clinton's a 'demon' who 'will put a noose around everyone's neck." Unlike our incurious media, he knew.

Spot on.

[irish guard]

Been following your banter o. This. Above all, Assange cares most about Assange. I think the white chess player is Assange and his white hair. It’s likely w just about trapped, where he might’ve had to leave the embassy and got a reprieve. So he veiled all his own trials into a chess analogy. Just my two cents.

Here's the move-by-move link to the whole game (Capablanca v. Marshall 1918):

http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1095025

Capablanca did exactly what you predicted:

Queen to F3, attacking the Black Bishop, pinning the Black Queen, protecting both white pawns on the G file, and doubling White's attack on the Black F pawn - truly an amazing move.

Capablanca still has a huge problem trying to develop his Knight and Rook on the left side of the board, which are pinned by Black's Queen and buried behind three White pawns. That takes about 10 more moves to solve.

Eventually, White breaks his B pawn loose and threatens to Queen it, at which point Marshall resigned.

I read some commentary on the game.

Marshall played a radical variation of the Spanish Opening that had never been analyzed before, except by Marshall.

The game is amazing because Capablanca did all his analysis over the board under time pressure.

Marshall, who was also seeing much of this for the first time, made two inexact moves that may have cost him the game.

Thank you

The game required a few more moves before either grandmaster considered it checkmate.

[Disestablishmentarian]

It’s hard to decipher Assange’s meaning.

The black queen is not lost until the very end.

Is Obama the black queen? (Just sayin’.) The black queen is on the eighth rank, a very aggressive position.

With misplay by white (not likely at this level) black could mate in two even though down in material.

Instead, black resigns a few moves later in the face of certain defeat.

Remember he had docs that would “bring down Hillary”?

He pretty much did bring down hillary.

[FredZarguna]

It's not black's move. It's white's move, and as white's move king cannot take knight.

I am just going by post #24. The line above the chess board says:

Going thru the game I found this postion and it's blacks move

HEY~ a news flash, Travel over to this thread to find out more about Q, the chess play, and the possible assassination attempt of our President Trump as he visited London in February. This seems to be a possible reason for the cancellation of his trip.

Sorry to hear your wife/SAM’s Club.

Did hear that they were closing about 100 stores across the country, (IIRC) What a shock! Not a club member, but do consider myself a WalMart shopper; what on earth happened to this business? Over-extended themselves? And the persons who must be given pink slips - after all the big bonuses which were just given to many employees (assuming some of these persons were WM employees as well) Rather like borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. Will say a prayer for you and your family. Tough times make you tougher...personal experience. Keep the faith and keep praying.

[infool7]

I don’t have any inside skinny but my own personal opinion is that they are just closing (only roughly 10% of Sam’s clubs alone not counting Walmart locations) the worst preforming locations and cutting dead weight. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them open 20-50 new stores this year in lower cost locations. I think they will quickly rehire the best/dedicated employees at other nearby Sam’s/Walmarts.

Seems like scheduled maintenance to me.

[V K Lee]

Will STILL pray for you and yours (and perhaps, even WallyWorld :>)

[infool7]

Thank you for your prayers, Ann(my dear and lovely wife) is working up to the post and the club has been jamm packed every day since the announcement, we certainly need them.

Ann focuses on the great help Sam’s/Walmart provides during disasters and emergencies and thinks there is some corporate expectation that there will be more than usual and this trimming is some kind of preparation. I hope she’s wrong but she rarely is :/

Keeping you and your family in our prayers.
