The Short Game is the seventh episode of the first season of Doctor Whom.

Plot[]

The story starts when Rose is trapped in an abandoned, locked warehouse and plays a chess game against a child named Melvin. Melvin wins in 5 minutes, but then the chess pieces start coming to life. The doors are deadlocked, so Rose and Melvin have no chance of escaping.

Rose and Melvin start battling the life-sized pieces for 40 minutes, and the Doctour tries to find a way in the warehouse. Rose and Melvin try numerous times to find a way out.

In the end, Rose finds a chair (much like in The Crimson Horror) and crashes a window. The chess pieces start crying and go back to their board.

Then the Doctour and Rose kiss.
