The Most Dangerous Game--Chess?!?!?

Last week, I took a look at a shocking story where a killer used poisoned chess pieces to murder his victim.

Well, it turns out that poisoned-chess-piece-based murder is a lot more prevalent than I believed.

Let's join the Avengers in introducing an important chess match!

NIMROD!

Sure, they jumped the gun on computers beating humans at chess by a few years--it's Marvel Earth, they're allowed!

Uh-oh!

Yow!!

So, I guess the message is: DON'T PLAY CHESS!! (Or at least wear gloves!!)
