How Can White Be in Check and Down Several Pieces?

okay, you're on. Although, I have a moral problem. I don't beat ladies.

Thats good then.

Now if only the people in the chess club I was in, were more merciful to ladies.

something funny I came across online from a "children's" chessclub:

INSURANCE POLICY

For the past ten years it is very fortunate that chess classes and events have not resulted in any serious injuries, etc., but ---- is covered by general liability insurance for all of its events.

my reaction is => AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Seriously, what sort of serious injuries could you incur in a chess tournament?
Will sore loosers throw glass/ wooden chess pieces at you or vice versa? or is it the chairs that are perceived as possible weapons of possible injury?
