Yeah, a board is a page, the pieces are characters, and each move adds a twist—though I never like games that leave me guessing the author’s next plot point.

It's a shame when the final scene is left on a blank page; you finish the book with more questions than answers, like a glass left half empty after a fine dram—better to have the whole pour, even if it means a hint of bitterness.
