Pro Reds: Stalemate-Deed

A Story by Abishai100

A Windy-City journalist covers a social-media chess-stalemate 'event' which draws ideas about globalism diamonds.

A parody about chess-chats inspired very loosely by Pawn Sacrifice (Ed Zwick). Thanks so much for reading,

I'd been covering the news for the Chicago-Catholic and had been assigned the special case involving a strange Facebook-chess engagement between two 'masters' on the cyber-circuit who'd been using the aliases Hyperion/Endymion. The two opponents never met and no one knew who they really were, but I created a 'fantastic' citizen's tale about who they might be, speculating that Hyperion was some kind of ruthless/vigilante Windy-City homicide specialist or detective.

I then suggested that Endymion was some kind of Martian-invader who'd been spying on humanity from Earth's moon and creating capitalism-IQ challenges in the cyber-arena on Earth for dialogue surrounding competition-consciousness in the new millennium. Endymion employed a rather machine-like offense-defense array in chess-play, for piece-position movement strategy strength for the old thinking board-game which had been re-presented in various movies/comics.

HYPERION: Damn, you've used a swift like queen-knight advance to create offense efficiency and charge!
ENDYMION: Damn; you've manage to counter with a light rook-bishop double-line defense-march stabilization for stalemate.

What made this stalemate-chess 'event' on Facebook so cool and intriguing in this era of social-media use and traffic is that both players commented liberally/publicly online during the game in front of the spectators/viewers and illuminated why in this new era humanity had really become fixated on imaginations about ambition and reach and why competition became a 'universal' conversation in the post-9/11 era of commerce-bridging for traffic-securities!

HYPERION: We've been 'cordially' invited to a Cali-fashion show at a research trustee platform for ideations of social-media!

ENDYMION: Cool; it seems our stalemate-conditions chess-play online had created social intrigue or IQ regarding customs.

Why not? For this post-9/11 era of commerce bridging, the ideations of chess-stalemate creating strange attractors for globalism rhetoric and capitalism-IQ would indeed be a social-media 'thing' reflected in the conversations re-presented in modernism reflective media/movies. It had become a 'traffic' conscious universe, really, and Hyperion/Endymion were at the frontline(s)!

Now, I'd been covering 'street-lore' for the Chicago-Catholic for some time now and became known as an Ichabod Crane of the Windy-City, and this pursuit of a globalism-IQ 'Headless Horseman' in the Hyperion/Endymion chess-stalemate 'event' further casted me as a social-media 'diplomat' of new era ideations of 'human' distance(s).

GIRLFRIEND: All you thinking about now is chess/stalemate; you're going to become obsessed with Cold War and spy-movies!

That can't be entirely true, right? I mean, we may be obsessed with Cold War chess in this age of globalism-rhetoric, but we also love Reds-Cubs rivalry baseball/cards and art and maybe this Hyperion/Endymion standoff would serve to remind all 'Earthlings' of what makes competition a thing of beauty and darkness.
