Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Time after time, day after day, Martin (John Mahoney) invariably beats Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). Unable to comprehend his dad's lucky streak, Frasier becomes increasingly frustrated, even losing sleep over the situation. What starts as a vexation turns into an obsession -- Frasier will beat his dad on the chess board if it is last thing he does. And in other news, Niles (David Hyde Pierce) purchases a dog that bears a remarkable resemblance to...well, that would give it all away, wouldn't it?
