Chess injuries

I asked a doctor friend about chess.

In answer to your question - chess-playing injuries are not a frequent cause of attendance at A&E departments. However, I was once called to see a patient with a bishop up his bottom. I instructed the patient not to make a move until I got there!

hmmm....is this a Catholic joke or a chess joke?  sorry......  if we assume that the "sexual deviant" (USA readers please substitute the more politically correct term of - "seeker of sexual enlightenment") had an unfulfilled chess fetish, it could have been worse I suppose.  He could have had a rook ravaged rectum or even much worse - a self inserted pawn-ile implant!

What concerned me most was the medic hadn't checked whether the game was against the clock. In that case, his advice could have lost the game on time. Or does FIDE accept medical notes as excuses?

lol..... if that occured during a tourny...... it had a very loose tourny director!

regarding Zack's comments....  do you think he was actually offended himself, or speculating on the sense of humor of the site police?  I mean he is from NEW ORLEANS!  Is that even possible?  As one who spends quite a bit of time in N.O., I would be amazed if he could take any offense by my (innocuous I thought)comments, despite his tender age.  You should see the tee shirts that are in the windows of the stores there, not to mention other things prevalent there.  For those non USA readers who may be unfamiliar with the city, think of N.O. as the Amsterdam of the USA.  Therefore you are probably not surprised that I (a man with a sick sense of humor), always has a great time there!  The Jazzfest is fantastic, as is Mardis Gras, although that has gotten a bit out of hand for an "old" guy like me......  But I still love attending the Bacchas ball.  Nevertheless, artfizz please remove my post if you get any other feedback that even alludes to taking offense....  my comments were only intended to amuse.....  nothing else......

 You don't mean: "you make them a [draw] offer they can't refuse" ?

The most common chess injury seems to be temporary blindness, especially in lower rated players at the hands of significantly higher rated foes.  There is no other way to explain claims of "I didn't see that"!

nice one zomby, i'd recomend to get hold of benedict as well, he may not be able to get the bishop out but he could apologise on his behalf

 and what about extreme damage of the ego


artfizz

temporary paralysis? "I can't move my rook!"
