    Yeah! that's why i thought the episode was named after (Â¿why the hell?). But when i readed about R-E-D... we know wich one is the coincidence and wich is not


    Isn't it odd that the illegal move in the chess game happens almost exactly when the episode is at 18:54, which happens to basically be the name of the episode... :D


    Oh great, i readed your post after i posted my question. It seems like we'll never be able to watch the entire game between them.
    I thought, during the episode, that they maybe wanted to reference some famous chess game, like a bobby fischer match (he's kinda familiar with jane in some way, i think). But no.
    But cool research! haha. Can i have your email? We can play some chess... i would start with pawn to E4! (cos im a chess-noob)


    I noticed it too and I have my Chess guru look into that missing move as mentioned before, there were a few from Jane's opponent which were not given and I assume that was the one which is crucial , or else it was an illegal move and when he announces that he wins after 3 more moves he is cheating.


    Hi, does anybody followed the game between jane and the man? at 18:54 aprox jane takes the bishop... isn't there a knight in the middle? its an illegal move? or did i missed some moves before? cheerss


    @Dan - Good job figuring that out! I knew it had a meaning and making it spell Red made sense. One of those right in front of your face things I didn't see. Thanks!


    @janeandlisbon seriously?? lol Rigsby arrested his wife :O where did you see it?


    I am trying to reproduce the chess gambit on a board but a few moves were not orally given so I have to plod through, opening move was a real odd one but very much Jane. Clowns are not my favorite, however creepy was needed. A bit of Hitchcock with Capra thrown in. In two weeks, you will see Red John reappear in a very interesting manner, since the season is ending, the last two episodes will probably come together and gut-punch all of us.


    @dan - I didn't see that! Although on second thought, it makes sense, since all the episodes have some reference to red in it.
    I just read that the person who played Noah's wife is actually the wife of the actor of Rigsby! So he got to "arrest" his wife :P
