There was a two part crime drama in the uk a week ago.
There was a copy cat killer of famous murders in the past...
One of the victims had chess pieces put in their mouth after
they were dead!

I wonder how many other crime etc related dramas have involved chess
lately?

Law & Order: Criminal Intent

Message:
If anybody didn't see the Law and Order episode it involved a ex-world champion grandmaster and former child prodigy that had played an illegal match in Cuba against US sanctions. Oh, I might also add he was a paranoid freak.... Sound familiar?!

The top players for the rising stars were Hikaru Nakamura of the United States and Anish Giri of the Netherlands, who each scored 6 points.

Competing at the NH tournament in Amsterdam, Nakamura, 22, led the Rising Stars to a 26-24 victory over the chess veterans, the Experience team, on Sunday. Another member of the winning team, the young Dutch champion Anish Giri, 16, had an identical 6-4 score as Hikaru, but only one could qualify for the Amber tournament.
