Thanks, Marc. I’m glad the actual chess set-up is apparent. I played around with it for a bit to figure out a situation that could actually occur in a game (this presupposes that the king is up against the wall and that the rook was covered by some other piece before the queen could move in for the kill).

I liked the SNL transcript, but I don’t remember ever seeing that sketch.
