Deadly Game of Chess

Write a story about two characters engaged in a cerebral battle with the plot of a murder mystery.

The antagonist sets up seemingly unsolvable enigma related to a series of murders, challenging the protagonist to solve it or face dire consequences. Can the protagonist think steps ahead or will they fall into the antagonist’s plan? This prompt encourages exploration of intellect, motivation, manipulation, consequences, and the idea that not all battles are fought on battlefields.
