Besides the Westing Game, chess is the most important game in the book.
The Judge, Theo, and Turtle are really good chess players. Each time Theo visits the Westing House he makes a move on the chess board only to find that someone else has made a move also in response to his last play. How does the
game of chess relate to the mystery and the players in the game? Hints: The
Judge calls herself a pawn. Otis calls himself and Crow the king and queen.
