C4 is an explosive.
I can give you a real life example.
I got a guy banned from tournament play years ago for violent intimidating behaviour. He was waiting for me in the car park at the next tournament. Someone got hurt & there was a brown mark on my motorcycle helmet.
Your guess as to whose blood it was(smirk)
94. When your opponent says " I pinned you..." you thought you got hit by a pin so you get a heart attack at die
P.S. Actual sentence : I pinned your queen
nice

96. At a tournament, get punched in the mouth by opponent for noisely and sloppily eating greasy fried chicken at the chess board.
#97: to play chess in the White House against George Bush wearing pro-ultracummunist clothes
98. You lose brutally by 5 queens and you trash talk your opponent and he pulls out his gun and fires.
98#: your opponent tricks you moving the wrong piece and you think you are hallucinating because of so much chess, so you have 4 aspirin for your head, but 4 result too much and you discourage.
Opponent : 1 You : 0
I damaged my ulnar nerve playing chess. The physician who conducted the nerve conduction study was convinced that I needed surgery. My orthopedic surgeon was willing to give it time before the slice, and with protection of the nerve (sleeping with a bath towel wrapped around my arm, for instance), the ulnar nerve healed in about two years. No surgery!
The injury was cause by propping my chin in my palm with my elbow on the table and leaning too hard as I was getting clobbered in internet blitz by some chap in Germany.
