The title is changed to "Superintendent Akechi's Splendid Inference in Las Vegas".
Akechi calls ``Indian Shogi'' the official name ``Chaturanga''.
In the original work, the human being lost to the computer in chess was a matter of the opponent's ability, but in the anime, the opponent loses due to pressure.
The flashback begins with a chat after the game, and there is a scene where Akechi, Funaki, and Kaneda talk.
The line just before Funaki's death is a line asking for help. Also, the pawn he holds just before he dies was black in the original, but it is white in the anime.
Goldman's insulting remarks to the Japanese have been cut.
Funaki was killed, and the time Goldman was playing was changed from "after 3 o'clock" to "after 6 o'clock".
Along with that, the time when Funaki asked for room service was also changed from "2 o'clock" to "5 o'clock".
Goldman and Akechi meet face-to-face at the breakfast venue, not during the interview. At that time, Akechi is requesting cooperation from Goldman.
During the match between Akechi and Goldman, the white and black pieces are reversed.
In the scene where Goldman mistakes ``soba'' for ``onigiri'', in the original, he eats ``onigiri'' while saying ``soba,'' but in the anime he just points it out.
