Default "Newsflash - Chess game ends in chaos"
Press Release - " A local Derbyshire lad caused chaos today when he played his very first game of chess after reading a book on the game. Only 1 hour after reading the book, he challenged world champion Boris Spassky to a duel. After Spassky got checkmate on the second move, the man, known locally as Preacherman, went ape and left the board in a mess. A local amatuer photographer snapped the scene"

Should've read the rules!!!

This is a shocking news. Hope none of the pawn gets hurt. They're always the 1st one to go.
