A Martian Denim

Dr. Satan of Salk works on chess-A.I. designs when engaged by a 'devious Martian' with a chess-proposition (secret) for Earth's defense(s).

A treatise of what makes chess symbolic/reflective of intelligence negotiation, inspired loosely by Pawn Sacrifice (Ed Zwick). Hope you like (and thanks so much for reading!),

The great Cold War era chess movie released recently reminded folks around the globe of commerce-relations highways securing customs-relations in this emerged post-Industrialization era of consumerism 'toys' in the post-9/11 era and featured the iconic storyboard of American chess-legend Bobby Fischer creating a special Western alignment against Soviet chess-champion Boris Spassky in a re-presentation of Earth's fanciest dreams.

Chess is an old strategy-board game involving piece-position movements for arrays of offense-defense choreography designed to capture the opponent's king with infiltration-IQ while securing one's own defensive units. It reflects theories of intuition, decision-making precision, strategy-diagrams, and overall imagination! It's why Amlan Satan has been applying chess-game models in the analyses of A.I.-decisions modeling algorithms for the erection of 'self-aware' computing-response systems/interfaces at the iconic Salk Institute in Cali!

DR. SATAN: My wife says I watch too many films (Netflix), intent on 'casting' my imagery of mind in the 'figures' of humans.

Well, while Satan was using a special 1984 US Open men's tennis rivalry match between Ivan Lendl and Pat Cash to create a special chess-stalemate (tie/draw/no-win decision) condition array for an A.I.-response modeling system at Salk (Cali), he thought about the overall 'social'/cinematic value of competitions-consciousness and why stalemate or ties created special images of 'identity'-driven sculptures for distance(s).

DR. SATAN: It's a magical fact that games for intentions-exchange between minds raises ideas about competition-adaptation.

Meanwhile, a Mars rover sent by NASA_Weyland had picked up strange signals from deep beneath the red-planetary surface and it turned out to be emanating from a terrifying unrecognized insect-dragon alien intelligence 'being' called Xenomorph which had a certain affinity for chess and had been 'spying' on Amlan Satan's chess-A.I. studies at the Salk Institute.

XENOMORPH: I shall find this young/brash Dr. Satan through computer-net infiltration and challenge him for stalemate-chess!

SATAN: Why'd you want to challenge me to achieve a no-win/draw decision against you in chess?
ALIEN: I'm a Martian with a special 'view' of consciousness-differentiations between species!
SATAN: How'd I know you're an 'actual' alien being and not a prankster-hacker invading my chess-terminal?
ALIEN: Well...we may keep this stalemate-chess challenge/proposition a 'dark' secret, doctor!
SATAN: Alright; I'm on lunch-break, and I love a 'fun' chess-dance; I'll keep this a secret, 'Mister' Martian.
ALIEN: Excellence...I shall draw a queen-knight offense-advance for array maneuver impression(s)!
SATAN: Fine; I'll respond (now) with a direct rook-bishop double-line counter for array adaptation flexibility.
ALIEN: Damn; that certainly is drawing both our respective units/sides towards a tie/stalemate, doctor!
SATAN: You're right, Mister Martian; so what, if I may ask, did this lunch-break chess-draw yield between us?
ALIEN: Well...perhaps you'll record, "Alien-chess stalemate drew sovereignty-IQ for governance-oriented imagination!"
SATAN: That's an intriguing (and fun) ideation, Mister Martian; I might include a 'footnote' in my new Chess-Journal editorial.
ALIEN: Excellence...perhaps when you peruse a 'cool' sci-fi/horror film (Netflix) on Earth, you'll remember our depression.
SATAN: Excellence...this all reminds me of War of the Worlds (HG Wells).
ALIEN: My 'goal' here, good Salk-doctor, was to use chess-stalemate to draw a 'fantasy' about respectful...war.
SATAN: That's clever, Mister Martian...you invoke in me a special 'daydream' about sci-fi doctoring.
ALIEN: Excellence!

Amlan Satan ended up using some of his earned fortune(s) to purchase a very very expensive Romanian-gem chess-set which he'd use to play against himself (alone!) at Salk off-hours and remember that 'fun' and iconic chess-stalemate result drawn against what he didn't know was a real Martian, convinced the game itself was ironically a 'fantastic' casting of what made chess a reflection of intelligence-artistry! He even considered writing a new A.I. themed war/sci-fi novel titled Chess Robots.

XENOMORPH (Martian-Alien): All the splendor of Earth was vainly overlooked by human scientists by 'chess' distance!

WIFE (Dartmouth): Do you think a robot would really 'care' about chess-stalemate, darling?
AMLAN (Salk): I think there's a magical 'mystery' romance to fantasies about imagined chess-minds drawing peace!

WIFE (Dartmouth): What if a robot/alien uses chess only to conceive of war, darling?
AMLAN (Salk): Well, then a stalemate-challenge would 'certainly' draw a clever governance-IQ regarding Earth's disaster(s)!
