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.

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”.
