This is not a private key, I guarantee you that. Private key is just a number, to which is a network version byte added and then double SHA256 hashed + base58 encoded. These series of chess moves you quoted are not a number in any possible representation, and most certainly is not hash because for hash to have such uniform distribution to be meaningful chess game it would be impossible to find private key on which the hash is based. So you are on the wrong path, which doesn't mean there is not something in Alice in Wonderland association with the chess.

Based on the picture, I thought of looking up chess annotations as a private key. Others had suggested this based on the bird to find games with Bird's opening, but I didn't know enough about historical chess games for that to help. But then I thought the context of lots of the earlier clues were Alice in Wonderland based (follow the white rabbit, and the everything isn't what it is), and also on the picture there is the phoenix section that sort of looks like "through the looking glass." So then I remembered there was a chess game in the book through the looking glass. Well I researched it and the book actually is a chess game. You can read all about it here:

http://www.chessmaniac.com/lewis-carroll-and-chess/

So I used the annotation for Lewis Carol's solution on that page and it worked as a private key when I plugged it in blockchain.info, although the address it gave was empty and never used.

I don't know if the fact that it worked as a private key (length of characters?) is a good sign. I don't know enough about private keys...

I tried a few modulations like exchanging the 7's for 3's (from the 347 clue earlier), but that did nothing.

So anyways I think that's a far as I can contribute as I don't have any of the other skills I witnessed being used when reading the 32 page pdf of the previous puzzle and reading through all the pages on this thread. I really enjoyed the adventure, though, and I can't wait to hear how it gets solved.

I saw there was an older low resolution picture of the chess board

All those weirdly capitalized words with a message to or by Satoshi.

Any updates on this one? I would love if someone not rich cracks it

Author of the painting, and the creator of the puzzle is the same person: Marguerite Christine, the woman on the left in the picture:



There was a previous puzzle which was eventually solved:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/arg-puzzle-with-35-btc-private-key-prize-game-over-661781

This one still holds, IMHO because there was no community dedicated to solving it like the previous one. We were torn between half-functional forums and IRC channels, and it was no fun anymore like the first puzzle.

Hi every one!
I just join in the forum. I have a question: Did someone tried to find the origin of the painting? Who is the author of it?
Or this is made by the creator of the puzzle??? Maybe we have to start from there(or at least me)

this is insane, did you see the last resolution? I'm sure there's a plenty people crazy because this puzzle kkkkk

i found something
7 rays : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_rays

...Blavatsky summarizes the syncretistic principle of her doctrine as it relates to the seven rays:

"...a key which reveals to us on indisputable grounds of comparative analogy... the Indian phœnix, the emblem of cyclic and periodical time, the "man-lion" Singha, of whose representations the so-called "gnostic gems" are so full. Over the seven rays of the lion's crown, and corresponding to their points, stand, in many cases, the seven vowels of the Greek alphabet AEHIOYW, testifying to the Seven Heavens. This is the Solar lion and the emblem of the Solar cycle, as Garuda is that of the great cycle, the "Maha-Kalpa" co-eternal with Vishnu, and also, of course, the emblem of the Sun, and Solar cycle. ... As well remarked by C. W. King: — "Whatever the primary meaning (of the gem with the solar lion and vowels) it was probably imported in its present shape from India, that true fountain head of gnostic iconography." (Gnostics, p. 218)[34]...

Letters :  AEHIOYW = A9 in base64
this explains why 7x9 chessboard is used instead of 8x8 chessboard

A9 square may be the white square A1 in original picture if you don't rotate , maybe there is a flower on it ( maybe a lotus ?? )

2nd hint : it's about the twin flame
In 7 rays , 3rd ray's wisdom master is MahaChohan ,  this truly Great Lord is called the Keeper of the Flame.. His twin flame is Pallas Athena, Goddess of Truth. ?

Im quite interested in this, is there some sort of discord server or whatever where people can have a better conversation about this?

ocminer, idcray, ffpool soon (most likely today!) obligatory revise isn't it time ?Thanks

Currently evaluated the look, confirmed hashes, created keys out of it, place it with an hex edit plan... Nothing so far.

enthusiast the fire of battle.. also maybe term experience knight nightalso the pheonix and the turtle (dove)

I think this is a QR Code, but how do I read it !!!!

Do you think that it seems a QR code?
My proposal that we can use QR code scan app on Android to do it with image processing algorithm

For those still looking into the puzzle ive been looking at the edges of the picture file. Dont really think anyones looked into these parts very much and should be investigated.

I have uploaded a picture to https://imgur.com/a/dcKgM

It is possible that there is relevant data in the outer parts of the picture.

if anyone gets anything useful please share..

I agree with the last post to some degree. The high res picture is needed to crack this one in my opinion. If no one has access to it it can't be cracked. Looks like a possible relaunch of this puzzle or a new one @via https://viacoin.org/puzzle/

Not one person in this thread thus far has a chance or the resources to follow this rabbit whole.

I have looked at her other puzzles and unless you are boarder line autistic, own windows 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11, this is no joke, work in cyber warfare and can crack NSA level codes, give up! It got her the attention she wanted.

ah and the spirals at the corner are two types.
with types i mean how they rotate.

they could give informations about how the order of the flames are?
