Thomas P Stanwick and Inspector Matthew Walker were seated one afternoon in Stanwick's living room, chatting about recent crime news.
"You may have seen something in the papers," said Walker, "about the murder two nights ago of Professor Richard Hansford."
"Yes, I think so." Stanwick frowned. "The archaeologist. He was stabbed in the back while seated at a chessboard in his study, wasn't he? Killed instantly."
"That's right. A call came in to headquarters at 8:30 last Wednesday night from Michael Rimbach, a visiting relative of Hansford's.
When the squad car arrived, rimbach explained to the officers that he had heard a cry from the study as he was passing by in the hallway. Looking in he saw the professor slumped back in his chair and caught a glimpse of a man escaping through the French doors of the study onto the lawn. Rimbach rushed to the doors, but the man had already disappeared into the rainy darkness.
Hansford was obviously dead, so without touching anything, Rimbach called the police and told Hansford's sister Emily of the crime. Emily, an invalid, had heard nothing.
Rimbach thinks he recognized the man as David Kunst, a neighbor who played chess with Hansford every Wednesday evening at 7:30. They were both enthusiasts of monochromatic chess and played no other kind."
"Really?" said Stanwick. "Chess in which no piece can move from a black square to a white square, or vice versa? That's quite rare."
"Yes, it is, which is why they played it so regularly. It's hard to find partners for it. Rimbach, the sister, and Kunst all confirmed the weekly games.
"When we interviewed Kunst at his home later that evening," Walker continued, "he said he had received a call from Rimbach a little after seven saying that Hansford was ill and had to cancel that evening's game. Kunst said he there fore spent the evening at home. Rimbach denies having called him. Kunst lives alone, and there were no witnesses. We saw a damp overcoat and shoes there, but he says they got wet on his way home from work."
"In what condition did you find the study?" Stanwick asked.
'The French doors were open. We looked for footprint traces on the lawn, but found nothing definite. The condition of the board indicated that a game was in progress when the murder occurred."
"Did the aboard look like the game had been in progress for an hour?"
"Yes I guess so. It looked like the players were entering the middle part of the game. A knight and two bishops were already posted in the center of the board."
"Had the weekly game ever been called off before?"
"now and then. Usually the sister phoned Kunst if Hansford was ill. She had been confined to her bed that day, though, and hadn't seen her brother."
"well," said Stanwick, fingering the tip of his mustache, "you have an interesting but thoroughly contradictory pair of stories to consider. One of them is patently untrue, however, so I suggest you concentrate your inquiry in the direction of the liar."

Who is Lying, Please explain ?
