yeah it was fibonnaci, but he was only one of the three statues shown. heres what somebody wrote on the flickr page:

My guess is that last cipher "dpzivylmfjqfsvwr" will be decoded using vigenere and the password will be whatever move his opponent was using (invisible person playing chess in the video). I gotta look that up though. That was my first guess, but I only saw "opponent has the key" not fischer's.

Also what the heck is this: I guess it is Vixy.net. I've used that program before though and I've never seen this logo appear. Weird.

Sorry for the double post. I found on his website you can watch each move of a lot of his chess games.

There are a ton of them, but so far the only game I've found that has the same opening as in TDC's video (Fischer opens with the right knight, then the opponent mimics his moves) is Robert Fischer vs Max Pavey, 1956, Manhattan, NY. I thought this might be right also because the key is here was over a bridge in NY. But I tried maxpavey, max, paveymax, pavey and didnt get anything.

The last move in the video is a checkmate by black ( you can't really see either player) via "pawn promotion" or "queening".

Someone might try using the opening move notations to ROT the letters against. It sounds like Jab has the game needed, all we have to find is the notations from that game. Each chess move will be notated as in the example below.

Check wikipedia for what im talkin bout.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_chess_notation

Moves are generally written in one of two ways.

(1) written in two columns, as a white/black pair, preceded by the move number and a period:

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bb5 a6

(2) in text: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6.

I also found a couple other games that started out the same way: max pavey, popovych orest, stephan popel, r fauber, and m green. But Pavey was the only one in NY. And I dont think any of them end with that checkmate move in the video. There are over 800 games of Fischer's on that site, so this may take a while. And I don't even know if this is what the code really means.

I'm not sure if our code is regular vigenere, or like the vigenere the CM used last time. If it's like the Cm's version, you have to change the alphabet in cryptool (instead of ABC...Z it needs to be ZABC....Y). I also changed that program I made before, so you can use it to try different key ideas using the modified vigenere method. Here's the link.

Using chessgames.com, I sorted all of Fischer's games by that opening move, and since black wins, I guessed he was black. I went through a crapload of games, but I finally found one that matches exactly.

He played James T. Sherwin in NY in 1966

If you use this guys name "JamesTSherwin" as the key and the vigenere format the CM used in the last vid (you can test it with my program above you get:

I was looking into all this stuff you guys were, hehe. I was especially looking into the stuff that Das pointed out. I was trying to find a specific move that moved with the Knight first. Arggg I was just starting to go through his individual matches. Good going Nicole.

Yeah thats what it was called, the reti opening. On that chess site it sorted his matches by his different opening styles, so I was going through each style to see what they looked like. Thats how it I figured out the kings one matched the video. Good catch about the prosecutor thing, I was assuming it was Fischer, didnt even think about Sherwin being indicted.

[gchs titan]

who was the first one to accuses whats-his-name of being the mole? i think thats what TDC means by "the one who indicted"

[jabroni]

Has anyone been able to get the steg program to open these files? I tried changing the extensions to bmp but it gives me an error...

For the chessboard one, when I saved the image off the site I had to choose bmp, I guess just renaming it doesn't count
