Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The chess motif recurs as both the Doctor and Peinforte treat the Nemesis conflict as a zero-sum game. Its continuity reinforces the thematic parallel: control of the board (and time itself) is the literal and figurative battleground.
