These are the 5 ,win injuries I have heard of-

1. Lack of social activity and friends (Social injury)
2. Mental injuries, inc-
-shouting at random priests and bishops when they don't walk diagonally
-avoiding castles in fear that they will move forewarn and flatten you
-after walking to the end of a black and white tiled floor shouting at the owner to be promoted
-the inability to ride horses without either trying to only move in L's or being too scared a pawn will fly from the sky and take your horse
-only seeing in black and white
3. You may enter rigamoses whilst still alive during a classical game and never be able to move again.
4. Your wrist may fall off when playing bullet or constantly try to move pieces when away from the board. (Parkinson's disease)
5. Sleep deprivation as you keep trying to think about moves, or start a game at 21:00 that has no time limits and only ends at 05:00. People have also become hallucinated by the black and white squares.

Be careful when playing chess.

It's dangerous.

Repetitive strain injury after a game that ends in perpetual check.

Chess is a less dangerous sport than checkers (chequers).  Checkers pieces are aerodynamic and make dangerous projectiles.

death from shin-kicking

that is why MVL and other grandmasters are training because of the new rules

Crushed under a Pawn roller. Always a tragic end.

I love this thread. XD

Another injury: Head bruise from smashing your head into a table when you could have checkmated the opponent but stalemated instead

A chess friend of mine tried to smother his wife while shouting ‘I am a horsy, i am a horsy’. Now his marriage is broken. Does that count as an injury?
