Magnus Carlsen, the world-renowned chess player, was participating in the 2009 Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia. During a game against Vassily Ivanchuk, Carlsen accidentally swallowed a piece of his own chess set.

Carlsen was understandably worried about the situation, as the piece could potentially cause serious harm. However, Emory Tate, a grandmaster of chess from the United States, came to the rescue.

Tate, who was in the audience watching the game, quickly rushed to Carlsen's aid. He performed the Heimlich maneuver on Carlsen, successfully dislodging the chess piece from his throat.

Thanks to Tate's quick thinking and action, Carlsen was able to continue playing in the tournament without any further issues.

The incident made headlines around the world, with many people praising Tate for his heroism. Carlsen himself later expressed his gratitude to Tate, calling him a "hero" and thanking him for his help in a public statement.

The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that can come with playing any sport or game, even something as seemingly harmless as chess. It also highlights the importance of having knowledgeable and skilled individuals like Emory Tate around to help in times of need.
