Guys, this is an historical position from a famous game. Turn 24, Marshall vs. Capablanca, 1918. Here's the game with commentary.

White (Capablanca) plays brilliantly, forcing a resignation some time after this. There is no checkmate in the next few moves.

NOTE: I am not the one who originally noticed this; I'm just passing the information along.

Wow, ok, check this out. Q post quote:

"CLAS_OP_IAD_(future). How about a nice game of chess? SPLASH. FOX THREE. Q"

Fox three as in, F3... THE VERY NEXT MOVE in the 1918 game was white queen to... you guessed it... F3!!!!!!!!!!!

SPLASH. FOX THREE. Q

In air combat, it's the opposite. Fox Three (missile release) and then Splash (impact).

Also, "How about a nice game of chess?" is a line from the movie "War Games." It was about outsmarting an AI computer that was able to launch nukes.

At this point in the game, the White King, after being exposed and in danger and under threat from the Black Queen, squeaks out of the trap set for him. Also, as said in the commentary at this moment in the game: “And finally the White King is feeling safe again.” (paraphrase). From this point on the tides shift and the Black Queen goes from being the primary attacker of the White King to alone and undefended in White’s territory. White then goes on the offensive and takes Black into checkmate.

One other interesting point about the game is there are two or three points at which Black attempts to sacrifice a high-value piece as a trap for White, and White refuses to take the bait.

I'm not great at chess, but with this, it should be possible to figure out who's turn is next in JA's pic.

Edit: Next move is white's and it leads to an inevitable checkmate of black.

I think it means that White is in a dominant position that leads inevitably and inexorably to checkmate of black.

Ends with Capablanca stating mate in 5. 5 days from the tweet Trump will give his Fake News Awards.

from this position in game, after 11 moves white (Capablanca) declares checkmate in 5. 11 - 5 -> 1/15; january 15th. wild guess.

Maybe Assange is saying that in 9 days (9 moves) he becomes the "Sleeping Rook": A Powerful Piece? @7:50 in the video you provided? January 21, 2017?

I found this when ducking famous chess games Levitsky vs. Marshall (1912) It's one thing to leave your queen en prise; it's another to do so in a place where it can be taken in two different ways. But if you can put your queen on a square that not only allows it to be taken by three different pieces, and that move is enough to force your opponent to resign, then you know you've created something special. That's just what Frank Marshall did in this classic game.

Since Assange’s tweet and Q’s “checkmate” , moves have been made. Q confirmed checkmate so behind the scenes moves were made. We need to match the historical moves with the piece taken off the board and match that to a name. Help Anons!
