Every time there is Draw, they say it is warm-up game, Polger says on Carlsen getting first game Draw with Black, or it is Fighting Draw. But it is hard to get fighting Draw in Rapids. So what else is new in Simpleminded Chess? The great multi-talented Taimanov has died: Taimonov.
Not well known though ranked about 200, Urii Eliseev fell tragically to death: Fall.
With full respect for Eliseev's tragedy, and he seems would appreciate the broadening, it appears very often Chess players fall to their death, more so than any category but some extreme sport itself:
Death_In_Fall. For example, author of 'Encyclopedia Chess Variants' and player David Pritchard fell to death about 2002. And in above list by Bill Wall, all of Pierre St.- Amant, Vitolins, Agzamov, Curt von Bardeleben, Perliss, Grigorian, Minckwitz, Rossolimo fell or jumped to death. Actually, Eliseev is repeating Lembit Oll's recent dying in falling off building in Estonia, Oll. Oll_Jump.
Base Jumping was highlighted here before, in fact in connection with the Draw Death business: BaseJump. Please, please use parachute or Wing Suit from now on, and know chute does not open in time below eight floors. Dean.
