What happens if there's an earthquake during a tournament?
We had one this morning!
I was dreaming that I was winning a big tournament. But the earthquake woke me up....
So, I lost it by resignation!

What's wrong with knowledge?
Nothing. But having it and just yakking about it are two different things. 
Well, you don't ignore the teacher, unless you want to be whipped

Not sure I understand this stance?
Please increase my knowledge and explain the distinction and how "yakking about it" does not promote "It"?
What happens if there's a World War during a chess tournament?
Well... let's see:
The 19th Deutscher Schachbund (German Chess League) Congress in Mannheim, Germany began on July 20, 1914. The First World War began about a week and a half later, when Alekhine was leading the Master's section with 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. With the outbreak of war, the tournament was called off and the eleven Russian players (Alekhine, Bogoljubov, Bogatyrchuk, Flamberg, Koppelman, Maljutin, Rabinovich, Romanovsky, Saburov, Selezniev and Weinstein) were interned in a POW camp in Rastatt, Germany. Six of them were eventually allowed to go home, four in September, one the following year and one the year after.
So there you have it. If a war breaks out during a chess tournament, you just toss them into a POW camp.
In other games, it has even happened that a nuclear bomb was dropped during the equivalent of a world championship/candidates match.
Interesting.
@Batgirl might think so, as well.
what a crazy topic!
does anyone actually wonder what would have happened to a chess tournament a few days ago in puerto rico?
will the next topic be about chess tournaments during tsunamis? and, how to save your king?
Nothing. But having it and just yakking about it are two different things.
