Notas do episódio

A chess fanatic inherits a chess set with a sinister and chequered history…and has to play for his life.This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “THE HAUNTED CHESSMEN” by E.R. Punshon, 1916. EDITORIAL NOTE: The source text I read this from gives the name "Casablanca" as a chess champion. I don't know if this was a deliberate thing or a misprint, but I now realise this ought to have been "Capablanca". Hopefully this won't affect your enjoyment too much.💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀Supporting my workIf you like, you can donate in the following ways:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpodYouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/joinOne-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcastYou can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE - it all helps the show survive and prosper!If you want to discuss the show, talk business, or have any ideas for stories you'd like to hear in future episodes, contact me: [email protected]💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀About the story:"The Haunted Chessmen” by E.
