'Chinese Checkers is Alone times two. Two girls, one square-jawed and American, the other invoking a wise Oriental passivity, begin by playing the board game, drift from a concentration on the pieces to a concentration on each other's hands and eyes, with disquieting tentatives of invitation or dominance. A succession of sharply Iow and reverse angles distort, like inner anxieties, their eye-contacts into a Kafkaesque tangle of dissimulation, probing and query.' - Raymond Durgnat
'His Oriental predator is at first clothed in black, her 'victim' in white; slowly the costumes change, the victim acquiring a veil of mourning, until finally - as if to underline the ambiguity and interchangeability of their respective roles - the colours are reversed altogether. Still more interesting is the way in which, as the game becomes more ambiguous, Dwoskin adds fresh layers of make-up to his characters' faces, until they become almost caricature masks of their original selves.' -JD Sight and Sound summer 1970.
