This episode moves into the world of chess. It turns out that Sweets is a chess master, so he infiltrates a club where the murder victim played before his death. It shows us that chess is a competitive sport with a lot of wackadoodles being involved. There is a bit of the Oedipus factor at work here. The death of the victim involves the use of pigs to eat bodies completely. There is a totally uninteresting subplot where Cam has been chosen as the female scientist of the year. Brennan, of course, believes there is only one persion who deserves such an award. Hmmm! I wonder who that could be. The ending is totally uninteresting, as is the solution to the murder.
