Okay so this is not another chapter (I know I suck) but I did want to add a comment on here that I meant to yesterday. So, the chess game was not originally in my story, but as I was trying to figure out a way for Sweets and the guy to have some sort of interesting showdown in the interrogation room. A few of the starts I had didn't work so I was struggling with something. I, like many, loved the Chess episode last season, mainly because Sweets got to be good at something (especially when Booth was not) and yes, I wish the team would have been there in some way to actually have SEEN Sweets shine. So when I go the idea of the chess game, I wanted them behind the glass to watch. Brennan comments since she knows about chess (and what fun it could have been to see her and Sweets do a game!). But anyway, the chess match between Sweets & Burkhead was fun though it did require some research on my part (knowing NOTHING). The game that Sweets & Burkhead play is the 1956 game between 13 year old Bobby Fisher and Donald Byrne known as 'the game of the century.' I thought the youth of the winner (Fisher) was reminiscent of Sweets youth at chess as well.
The other thing I wanted to mention was that, as I mentioned early on, this story is based on an actual case from 1948 in Australian, the Taman Shud Case. Most of the 'clues' all come from the actual case including the cyphers, the suitcase, the body, the clues, the connection to a son (though here a daughter) etc. However the actual case was never solved so I came up with a version of what all the clues meant. One other thing is that in the actual case, despite all the uniqueness of the unknown man's body, his identity was never found, I felt that in this story any identity would not have lived up to it and since the unknown man was never know (yet), that ours should not either. So thus, our man remains unknown as well.
Sorry, just wanted to add those few things because I did not intend to take credit on the chess game should you know about chess. I'll have to learn one day.
