Monk and the Genius

For those of you who enjoy USA Network's Monk mystery series, last week's episode was about:

"Monk matches wits with a brilliant chess master who is suspected of murdering his wife."

As a mystery, it was so-so (I thought the solution was a little hard to believe), but it had some chess content.  If you would like to see it, you can watch it on the official website.

Click here for the synopsis but don't read the whole thing as it has a spoiler! Yell  Then go to "full episodes", suffer through the commercial, and it should start playing.

Enjoy!

PS:  No, it's not as good as the famous Columbo chess mystery, The Most Dangerous Match. Smile

We we're discussing this in another thread. I posted the game from the show there... from a chess perspective, it was a bit silly, disappointing really. So few shows get chess right. I thought the simul scene was pretty funny though. :)
