Brisbane Bombshell

[gingergrant]

I was just wondering about the references to this game.
Do any of the moves in this particular game played echo any moves of Lost. IE. people killed, people being pawns, maneuvers, etc.

I was looking at the final board of the "Brisbane Bombshell" and noticed that the king castled at the endgame and was wondering if Ben in the house with his (bishop)Locke and his (knight)Sawyer was playing out the endgame.

here is a link to the classic game played by Kasparov and Karpov in the game known as the Brisbane Bombshell.

Also Brisbane is in Australia and the pieces are black and white, I can't fiind much about this theory, especially about it being this particular game.

was really looking at the moves and realized that the king didn't castle at the end, I still think that there are parallels somewhere in there.

Locke was playing the Brisbane Bombshell game with the computer in "Enter 77"
So I think that it's significant.

and there are soooo many other references to chess.

Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

Is there something you are not telling us?:eek:

BTW I found this thread when I did a search for 'white knight'

Hey Krakup and LostNSpace,
The game that Locke played on the DHARMA computer was the Brisbane Bombshell. My DH plays chess and I knew that I had seen it somewhere, so I went looking.
I keep humming "One (k)night in Bangkok"... I think that I'm obsessing.
