[@YourMomatChess]

It was so fun to host this category! Well done JEOPARDY! Masters!

[@isolanni]

Great job, Jenny! That looked like a lot of fun. I didn't know Carlson, but got the rest.

Hardest was the 1920s French painter. Rest were easy enough.

That's our POV as chess fans. Genpop knows Duchamp more than Carlsen or Polgar.

[@Heydog09]

I wonder if they would have taken 3 fold repetition instead of perpetual check.

[@adramytos]

No because you can choose not to do 3 fold repetition.

[@cgonz8]

I think the question was vague enough that they would need to accept that as a response

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

@@adramytos no because 3 fold repetition doesn't insinuate an attack

[@noblehelium3794]

@@adramytos Three-fold repetition is the actual chess rule that causes the draw. It would be a complete mistake to not take it as an answer; perpetual check is just a colloquial name for a subset of three-fold repetitions. I was surprised to hear Jennings say that as the answer.

[@xarpe3806]

@@noblehelium3794 Can also be the 50 move rule when the king is running around on the board, and that is still called perpetual check

[@RTSOB1]

It's a back-door win. I didn't know Duchamp became a chess master, but I did know who painted Nude Descending a Staircase.

Fischer got his money's worth for the queen.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

I only nailed the $1600 clue.

[@isolanni]

That's the only one I Didn't get!!

[@bobm7250]

The answers were...
1. "Children Of The Corn"
2. "Christine"
3. "Pet Semetary"
4. "The Shining"
5. "IT"
