Don't get it.
Renaud de Montauban whacked Berthelot (Charlemagne's nephew) with a golden chessboard, and killed him. Happened in 778 AD.

I wish I had a golden chessboard!!! I'm talking about an incident that happened in the 17th century, I thought.

Renaud de Montauban is a fictional character. Still chess is a very dangerous game.

I'm beginning to think that woodshover may be a genius. Of course, I only started thinking this when I fell down and whacked my head on the chessboard...
This is hilarouse.
Some prince in the 1700s clobbered somebody with a chessboard, and killed him, because he kept losing.
I can't believe there is so much ignorance on here.
I know the Pope fianchettoed one of his bishops in or about the apse.

Death to those who would attempt to beat Queen trysts over the head with a chessboard, long live the Queen.
It would probably do her some good.

Seriously woodshover, I have no clue what you are talking about. But this was hilarious! I would have never thought to use my opponent's head to hit the clock =/

On a related note:
From the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS, May 24, 1994
MOSCOW -- Doctors are blaming a rare electrical imbalance in the brain
for the bizarre death of a chess player whose head literally exploded
in the middle of a championship game!
No one else was hurt in the fatal explosion but four players and three
officials at the Moscow Candidate Masters' Chess Championships were
sprayed with blood and brain matter when Nikolai Titov's head suddenly
blew apart. Experts say he suffered from a condition called
Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis or HCE.

It happened over a hundred years ago, but I can't remember the names. He was tired of being checkmated, so he whacked his opponent in temple with board, and killed him.
