297. You are playing a game of chess against your opponent at a chess tournament. The person behind you was smoking...and you were so stressed with your game...so you accidentally farted. 10 seconds before everything went black, you remembered you watched movies that fart+fire = explosion....

10 seconds later...

Everything was black. You opened your eyes. You were glad it was a dream. But everything did actually went black when you saw somebody threw threw their burning cigarette on an oil tank BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Place land mines on certain squares of the board to build up the tension

The mines thing was already said in about 27 posts in this thread, but, nevermind, mines are always welcome :)

I got a repeated stress injury on my finger from holding the ipad wrong while playing chess.  It took about three days to recover.

Here is another funny incident that happened during a tournament game in New York City:  It was the Sunday morning round, and my opponent reached for a piece and instead, knocked over his coffee on himself, as the pieces went flying.  I went to help him pick up the pieces from the floor, and lifted up the table cloth, and besides a knight, there was a homeless man sleeping under our table!  I motioned to my opponent that we have another problem besides the spilt coffee, and I then took charge and got a tournament director involved, and we requested that we move the game to another room, so as not to disturb the other games in progress, along with the homeless man.  Shortly after we got settled at our new location, I had to run upstairs to go use the restroom, and this lady took a spill down the stairs, and I caught her half way down, and when I saw who it was, I knew this person, as she was the wife of the chess club president, where I pulled my muscle! (No, I did not get hurt this time or aggravate an old injury).  My opponent and I then got into a rook and pawn endgame, and my technique was off, and I can hear a grandmaster within my earshot criticize my technique, or lack thereof, and finally, I regained my composure and converted the endgame into a win.  All of these problems over 1 chess game!  It could have been the first time where both players got injured during the same game (LOL).

A little later that year during the 2nd round of the World Open, gunshots were fired, while each of us were deeply engrossed in our games.  I can remember the whole room getting up to witness these gunshots.  In my particular case, I had 3 ways to recapture, and I was about to arrive at capturing with the knight, and is when these gunshots happened.  I too, went over to the windows, and after more thought, I changed my mind, and captured with my bishop, and ended up getting "Murdered" (LOL) in this game anyway.  Come to think of it, that was the last year that the World Open was held in New York City, before it went to Philadelphia and last year and this year will be held in the Washington DC area.

I guess we can all laugh over spilt coffee as well as spilt milk!  Hope you enjoyed as usual.

I was playing in the Canadian Open back in the mid-1970s in Montreal PQ... the same year that Larsen, Hort and Velimirovic were playing in it... and a few boards away from me, one of the players dropped his Queen. He resigned immediately, then got up and walked towards the exit.

His opponent spent a couple of minutes looking at the nearby games, then headed towards the door. As he reached it, his defeated opponent leaped out from behind a large potted plant, kicked him in the balls, and ran away.

The police were called in and spent a few minutes talking to the TD and to the injured player... then they settled down to wait. Sure enough, the attacker showed up for his next round pairing, was quickly arrested for assault, and was dragged off to jail.
