Today's episode: Chess

Chess allegorically reflected the Cold War tensions present in the 1980s by telling a story of a love triangle between two grandmasters –one American, one Russian--and a woman serves as a manager to one of the players but falls in love with the other. The musical was inspired by some of the political machinations surrounding the 1972 Fischer-Spassky World Championship match.

Note: Chess has had multiple versions throughout its time. The original London version differs greatly from the less popular Broadway version. Additional, there have been adaptations in multiple countries, and a staged concert in 2008. The versions can change the setting, time, and song order.
