Julian Tweet: CHECKMATE!

First off, this arises from an actual game in 1918. That's right - before computers. The game is played by Jose Raul Capablanca vs FrankJames Marshall. They actually called Capablanca The Chess Machine because his moves in retrospect were so good at times they were computer like. There is a chess analysis AI called Stockfish 8 that analyzes less than perfect play, meaning, as you play, it will tell you what would have been a more optimal move. Funny thing is for most of this match, Stockfish 8 is dead silent for Capablanca's moves.

Oh and white wins ;) I'm going to assume that means White Hats.

Play it for yourself here! http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1095025&comp=1

Submission Statement: I felt the need to try and give some information behind Julian Assange's latest tweet. The cryptic White Wizard has left another message for us to decipher. Much can be interpreted from this. Fresh out of his release, it could be poking at the Black Hats telling them it's their move, but they have nowhere to run because the White Hats will ultimately prevail.

What are you talking about? This is some post about chess?? Or hacking??? or Julian Assange? You either are missing context... or smoked some really good green. (Probably both)

That is not checkmate Black Knight can block or sacrafice. This is not even check!

It's not Checkmate yet. Play through the game in the link provided it is actually a quite famous match.

It’s a brilliant game. Unexpected

It’s a beautiful game, even for the casual player

1  ChimeraTuesday 2018-01-13

True it’s not.

It’s from a famous game where white plays a defensive game. Until the end it looks like black is ahead. Then the game turns on dime and all of the sudden it’s apparent—there’s no wining for black. White has been circumspect and measured. Black overplayed and couldn’t see it until it was too late.

The picture he tweeted was near the end. Black can’t win. It’s only a matter of time.

I have no idea about the meaning of the tweet in a broader sense, that’s just a recap of the game. It’s famous

Bishop is next important piece to interact.. probably a reference to AI. We can safely assume that AI is in charge of media hit pieces meant to sway public opinion against Assange.

Wouldn't be surprised if we see more shite articles about his hygiene...

AI is operating off false equivalent of "sloppy Steve Bannon"...when calculating most effective strategy.

How do you get Bishop is in reference to ai lol

1  AIsuicide 2018-01-13

He hypes way more than he delivers.

1  potatosurplus 2018-01-13

What are you even talking about? WikiLeaks has delivered more illegal crimes documents than anyone in history with a 100% accuracy rating for more than 10 years.

1  pilgrimboy 2018-01-13

What was the last thing they leaked that had an impact?

1  potatosurplus 2018-01-13

You're deflecting.

1  pilgrimboy 2018-01-13

Not at all. I was just complaining about the hype. I like Wikileaks.

1  Straightfromthe 2018-01-13

The Hive series.

1  potatosurplus 2018-01-13

Maybe you should spend some time reading their releases. Just because the media chooses not talk about them doesn't mean they are important.

1  pilgrimboy 2018-01-13

If I was teaching them in college, I would. But I have four jobs that I'm doing in one capacity or another along with raising a family. I'm not going to read through the releases. I'm on here in the hope that people will show me the important stuff.

1  IAMAExpertInBirdLaw 2018-01-13

So you don't actually have anything then? Thanks

Vault 7 was pretty juicy.

The problem is people expect some silver bullet email. like Podesta would be stupid enough to come out and say "welp you did a good job on that killing". Eric Trump might be stupid enough to do it, but not these people.

The second problem is you have no idea what you're looking for. People use posts from "insiders" on fucking 4chan as treasure maps.

I think the Wikileaks dumps drops useful information but most of us don't know how to find the value hidden in it.

1  IAMAExpertInBirdLaw 2018-01-13

Then maybe he should just come out and say it.

Fact is WikiLeaks haven't dropped anything of consequence since that helicopter video

1  potatosurplus 2018-01-13

This is true but it is also how WikiLeaks is able to remain credible. They dumb EVERYTHING as opposed to being selective. That's where the autists come into play who are able to sift through the noise. There is a search feature though which makes things a lot easier.
