199. A Game of Chess
Original air date: 5 November 1972
This episode rerun 29 July 1973
Inspector Lew Erskine takes a crash course in Braille and in the game of chess, in order to impersonate a blind Eastern Bloc scientist and chess master. The man has been disabled in an accident after offering to act as a double agent to catch foreign spies. A very timely episode, given that detente was under way and that American chess player Bobby Fisher (1943-2008) became world chess champion in August 1972!
- Napoleon Whiting, who played Silas in The Big Valley (ABC, 1965-69), makes a guest appearance here!
