If you were in an accident and got brain damage, would you still play chess?
Brain bleeds due to Plavix use. Known side effect. Probably half a dozen minor strokes, somewhat like TIAs, but bleeds.
Chess itself causes brain damage!

Yeah, but what if ya died in the accident. Would ya come back here again??
