Every day Max and the Chief get together to play chess at the Regency Club and every day Max loses. KAOS kidnaps Max and hypnotizes him so that he shoots whoever says "checkmate." First, however, they have to help Max escape from their headquarters to carry out the mission. Whatever they do must happen quickly as the hypnosis wears off at midnight. Unfortunately for KAOS, Max has picked that day to study chess strategy and prolong the game.
