All I remember is that the King gets pushed into a corner and at the last minute wins, but looks like losing until then.
Is Castle Rock really "Castle Rook"? as in chess?
"Castling is a move in the game of chess involving a player's king and either of the player's original rooks. It is the only move in chess in which a player moves two pieces in the same move, and it is the only move aside from the knight's move where a piece can be said to "jump over" another."
In this move, the king and the castle are swapped. Could this be a hint at the president being swapped for military rule?

ransomnote: Castle Rock marks the second chess metpahor Q used to illustrate strategy. The second, a chess game, illustrates a strategy intentionally designed to look like "all is lost" (just as many have said today). I can't find a good description of the game tonight - wading through piles of adoring chess-speak. :/
(PSA: ALL IS NOT LOST. )
The strategy is featured in Q531 and was retweeted by Julian Assange, who also just happens to be in the news these days. :)
In it, the King intentionally appears to be losing throughout the game until the very last moment, and then wins.
This strategy is named after a famous chess match that occurred in 1918, and some chess nerds are known to speak rapturously of its beauty (good thing President Trump is a grand chess master). I think it's also referred to as The Marshall Attack. I'll put an excerpt from the website below:
Capablanca vs Marshall Attack, 100 years later | ChessBase
Still a mythic game
Earlier this year we ran a small story about Wikileaks founder Julian Assange mysteriously tweeting a chess position. The position — a search of MegaBase revealed — was from a classic game played exactly 100 years ago today: Jose Raul Capablanca vs Frank Marshall from the first round of the Manhattan Chess Club Masters, which began in New York on this day in 1918. Marshall was the US Champion at the time. Capablanca was still over two years away from becoming World Champion.
Here's the linked tweet that still exists. I will put a larger screen capture of the image below the tweet:
Assange tweeted this move from the game:

JA's chessboard is a famous game with a deadly move that was thwarted by the world champ in 1918.
This comes on the day of Trump's zero tweet marker.
