Any chessfags out there? We haven’t really seen the Q chessboard much lately, but I think it’s pretty relevant right now given POTUS declass auth and Wray NATSEC presser (possible Wray resignation?). I don’t play much chess anymore, but I recall a consistent rhythm & flow to almost every game.
Stage 1: Early battle, lots of jockeying. Kind of boring and uneventful to the casual observer. Some pawns fall, maybe a knight or bishop here and there. This could be accurately described as the calm before the storm.
Stage 2: Shitstorm commences. One side makes a bold move, and the battle royale commences. Fast paced with lots of major pieces falling on both sides. To the casual observer, difficult to know which side is winning…but as stage 2 moves forward, the players (and knowledgeable observers) usually know who has the upper hand. This stage is defined by moves and countermoves.
Stage 3: The stronger player boxes the weaker player into a corner, forcing a major strategic error. Stronger player begins the decimation of the weaker player’s defenses. Weaker player starts flailing, making more and more desperate blunders. Late stage 3 usually involves the losing side’s queen falling. This stage could also be called “the nothing can stop what’s coming” stage.
Stage 4: Winning player has clearly won the game, and it’s just a little cat & mouse until the losing side’s king falls or the loser concedes the game. God wins.
I believe we are entering stage 3 right now. It will move very fast…all transpiring over the next 3 weeks & culminating on Nov 3rd. Stage 4 will be glorious!
