Would this article benefit from being moved to Checkmate (novel)?

I'd suggest Checkmate (Sydney Horler novel) as there are lots of novels with that title. That's what made me decide on the current title in the first place. <KF> 19:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC) reply

the jet-set bit is awkward since there were no jets in 1930 and would be no jets until about 1945. I understand the attempt to mitigate with 'emerging' but really it wasn't about to emerge for quite some time. Brainhell 00:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC) reply
