And for something to enjoy listening to:
Here is the next CBS Radio Mystery theater production that you can listen to and enjoy which features CHESS as part of the plot. Enjoy!
The title is Your Move, Mr. Ellers:
"Chess seems the perfect foil for a sophisticated jewel thief. An insurance investigator looks into the theft of several diamonds and other jewels from a jeweler. A stolen emerald and a game of chess lead him to look into the lives of three supsects: an employee; a long time member at the jewelry store; and a fence. Every character in this story is a chess fan."
