• Faked Kidnapping: Turns out Checkmatey were behind all the threats and his own abduction: he didn't want to face his next opponent so he made up this elaborate ruse.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Checkmatey looks like a young Eminem.
• Smart People Play Chess: Averted with Checkmatey. He's good at the game but doesn't come off as being very book smart.
