I don't believe Lynch and Company know anything about chess other than
that it's supposed to be a battle of wits. And it's rich with metaphors
(sacrificing pawns, the king must die, etc). However, in all my
"chess deals", I never heard of the opening 1. P-K4 P-Q4.
I don't believe anyone of any strength would play this.

And yes, the board was pretty bogus. White's KNP and KN were gone.
I don't believe that the discrepancy can be explained by the body
knocking them down. If I were W.E., I would set the board up last
and make sure it was correct.

And wasn't the body female?
