Chess legend, Bobby Fischer died at 64 – exact same number of squares on a chess board. (Don’t u just love that). So the joke within the subculture goes that if you play chess you should expect to die at the same age. Like, if it isn’t cancer, or heart or liver failure by then, that girl from The Ring is going to climb out of the television on your 64th birthday and reap your soul with the touch of a cold clammy hand. Ah ’tis a game of fear.
