synopsis
The redoubtable Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) may have finally met his match in the form of Nate (Nick Lane), a 16-year-old chess prodigy who is ruder and more obnoxious than House has ever been! So contentious is Nate that he blocks all efforts to diagnose the cause of his mysterious head pains--forcing House to match wits with the little creep in a life-or-death game of chess. Meanwhile, everyone in the clinic is convinced that House is responsible when Foreman's job interview with a major New York City hospital is suddenly cancelled.
