Suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule's chess move drew laughter from a grandmaster of the game. File photo.A picture of suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule playing chess has caught the eye of Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, who made fun of the politician’s game.
The now-viral picture was shared by Magashule on social media at the height of his suspension from the ANC. In the photo, Magashule can be seen playing white and trying to move a pawn that has no legal opening.One Twitter user reached out to Kasparov for analysis of the move. “A friend and I have been trying to figure out what this opening sequence/strategy is called ?,” said the user.I would call this the "photo-op opening"! 🤣
This chop has never played chess in his life. Someone just said: 'Sit here, hold that' Typical.
How about 'D3, KF3, D4' , Which is possible and Legal?
There's nothing in that picture which says that move is illegal. Times live is just being dramatic
Ay, this is a shame. we have no journalists in SA. What in the name of 'fuckery' is this?
But the pawn can move backwards mos.
Oh please he could be placing his piece properly on the board. Some of us do that a lot. Always want them dead in the centre, tidy. This anti-Ace Magashule thing is now reaching disgusting levels. What about the button on his shirt, is that ok?
Was he trying to move the pawn or had he just placed the pawn there?
vlok_andre, your analysis of the game gets a mention
Le report'a masepa 🤮 yong
White moves first so it's his turn to move for a third time since black has already moved two pieces. But it can't be that pawn he's holding since it's blocked by the piece in front of it.
Hayi, then you must know, there is no content. The leaks worked. 😅😅😅🙈🙈
