Hmm, they put you in a boat on top of a funeral pyre and set it alight as you head off to Valhalla.

St Peter greet you at the Pearly Gates and say: "Hello. Mate!"

You go to a special place and are joined by nine virgin Queens.

You, as a pawn, get promoted for getting to the other side. Choose wisely. Rook, Knight, Bishop, Quee,... wait, what?

This is chess not bridge. You can’t pass (away).

"I’ll take a moment out to share a story about these two players. I don’t recall where or when it took place (and I’m too lazy to do a deep search), but it’s extremely funny and thus well worth sharing.
Both men (who were sometimes friends and sometimes not) had played in the same tournament, and during the award’s ceremony Alekhine found himself on the podium. Instead of doing the usual 'thank you' routine, he said the following: 'Last night I had a dream. I had died and found myself at the Pearly Gates, but when I tried to enter I was told by Saint Peter that chess players were not allowed into Heaven! I wandered along the endless fence, hoping to find some other entry point, but it was hopeless. Then, suddenly I saw Bogoljubov on the other side, having a great time! I rushed back to Saint Peter and said, "You told me that chess players aren’t allowed in Heaven. But if that is so, why was Bogoljubov allowed in?" Saint Peter replied, "Oh, he only thinks he’s a chess player!"'" - IM Jeremy Silman (2014)

If you mean they die while playing, I guess they end the game?? there was a dude who died while playing actually, but im too lazy to find the article..

Partial fraction decomposition. For every continuous function, individual, equivalently denoted by I nought, there exists an area under the curve. So individuals constitute a democratic republic of area. Das ist nicht sehr furchtbar.

Since you're only an FM of non importance, you will soon be forgotten about. It will be like you never existed. Sorry mate, only the Bobby Fischer's of this world get to be remembered.

Buried or cremated with their chess set, I guess?
