No, I'm serious. When I look up chess on google, the 2nd item is about the news article.

The guy was hit with a dumbell and then stabbed, I don't think he was trying to eat his heart...

The guy had worked since he was 8 years old, hours per chess everyday, is one of the top 1500 players in the WORLD, which in baseball would have made him rich, by the way.
At age 38, already an International Master, had decided to give up his dream and get a real job so that he can pay the bills.
And then his opponent said that ANYONE could be a Grandmaster with the right training.
That put him over the edge.

He should not let himself get so upset over obvious nonsense.

DUBLIN (AP) — An Italian man allegedly cut open his Dublin landlord's chest and tried to eat his heart following a fight over a chess match.
Saverio Bellante, 34, was charged Monday with murder. Police say he admitted his guilt after being arrested Sunday at the home he shared with Tom O'Gorman, a policy researcher for a conservative Catholic think tank in Ireland.
Pathologists said the 39-year-old victim suffered dozens of severe knife wounds to his head and chest, which had been cut fully open. Ireland's senior pathologist determined that the heart remained, but a lung was missing.
Police offered no explanation for what happened to the lung. Evidence suggested that O'Gorman's prone head and body also were bludgeoned with a dumbbell.
Bellante called police to report the killing. He claimed to officers that he had cut open O'Gorman's chest and tried to eat his heart after a dispute over a move in a chess match the two had been playing.

Thank you my dearest Idrinkyourhealth (quote #12) for answering my question (before I asked !....read Lola read). Yes, Tom was a chess.com member who went by the username "toog". And yes, his account is still active....some have messaged their condolences...which is a very nice extension.
If that's not an X-File, I don't know what is.
Isn't this just a new line in the Sicilian defense?
An attorney who plays the KID will get the charges droped. Your Honor!
Um, I recently heard that this person tried to rip open this guy's chess and eat his heart because of a chess match. This is strange. Anyone else here about it? Any thoughts?
