♟️ Understanding Ma Ying-jeou's Political Crisis Through One Chess Game (Zhenma Chess Position Analysis)

This article uses a famous Chinese chess endgame puzzle called 'Zhenma Chess Position' to metaphorically interpret and analyze President Ma Ying-jeou's political crisis and complex situation at that time (2014). The author assigns political roles and positions to the red and black pieces on the board, analyzing the stalemate points and potential breakthrough keys. The red 'pawn' has crossed the river boundary, the red 'general' is trapped in the rear, the black 'king' and 'horse' are surrounded, and hope for victory lies with a peripheral 'bishop' waiting for opportunity—emphasizing how in what appears to be a passive situation, key peripheral pieces can determine victory.
