Just started listening, I think it is an important callback for how Tagg died to recall that Dinah gave him like 22% odds to die screaming. This indicates one of two things, either (1) he wasn't choked, or (2) Dinah quietly realized he had a 22% chance to die screaming and 78% to die choking and just held that last bit to herself. **edit1** I'm an hour in and my google search is also not finding any chess references whatsoever, nothing. I'll be back to listen to the end after I complete this research. *edit2* regarding her rename, I always propose Flitter as her best possible new hero name. *Edit3* final edit (wanted to update as I listened) - I love how well done the Alexandria defeat is written, Alexandria fully believes she is reading Taylor, and Taylor is just getting colder and less emotional as she continues; so she thinks she has to really ratchet up the pressure to get a reaction - not understanding that she has already pushed her beyond her bounds and is about to snap. Skitter is ice cold, Taylors emotion is entirely expressed through her swarm, she didn't pick up on that fact and because she thought her reading was perfect she completely relied on it for her "path".
