Default Chess On Star Trek Enterprise

In the opening sequence of the Observer Effect episode on Star Trek
Enterprise this past week (goofy, invisible, pure energy beings inhabit
the bodies of a couple of crew members to "dispassionately" observe how
humans will cope with a lethal silicon-based virus...the goofy, pure
energy creatures at first refuse to interfere with the natural
progression of events, which culminate in the deaths of two humans, and
the imminent passing of the inimitable Captain Archer, because to do so
would violate their own variation on the infamous "Prime Directive"--a
phrase that sounds so very cold and premeditatingly calculating, rather
similar to the most infamous phrase ever created: "The Final
Solution..."), two Enterprise crew members, inhabited by the goofy pure
energy creatures, are depicted playing a game of chess. Sure looked
like they were playing a variation of the Caro-Kann defense to me: that
is: 1) e4 c6 2) d4 d5 3) Nc3 dxe4 4) Nxe4 Bf5. Except that that check
just before the scene faded out did not comport with what I recollect
about the natural progression of moves in that particular chess
opening. Fascinating. Did anybody get a closer look at what was going
on?

"The Acoustic Guitar Solitaire Of Inyo"
I play 23 solo (that is, I used one guitar with no overdubbing),
acoustic, instrumental versions of some of my favorite songs--all
available for free download in 128kbps MP3 format.
