The Cosmic Chessboard
At the bidding of the Guardians of the Universe (no, not those ones), Captain Comet attends the Interplanetary Chess Match on Pluto. Shortly after the first match begins, the contestants are gassed and imprisoned by Pygr-gar, the Plutonian grandmaster, who hopes to siphon off the others' brain power in order to bring his synthetic soldiers to life and conquer the Solar System. Captain Comet manages to break free and challenge Pygr-gar to a chess match for the group's freedom, only to be nearly gunned down by a concealed chess piece gun when he wins. Pygr-gar is subdued and the Solar System is saved.
