That story I failed to notice. But like you tell it - he wanted to kill 64 because his chessboard with 64 squares told him so - this initially sounds like an extreme obsessional neurosis to me. The need to meet numerical demands in any way, are an often observed behavioral pattern amongst such patients. For them all heaven falls down if they do not follow the numerical rules, whatever they are like.

I wonder why he didn't stop after 16 (=16 pawns) or so. :hmm:

It goes without saying that if it is like i superficially assume, then we are talking about a seriously ill person, and the example in no way should be compared to the debate about killer games - what you probably already know yourself. Maybe he would have caught by the stones of the pavement, if it wouldn't have been the chessboard.

P.S. Better nobody dare to ban chess boards as long as I'm around!

im saying that games are and art form like books and films if we were to put this in perspective the bible and the koran should be banned for inciting and causing much more bloodshed than any computer game has ever done if the people involved are insipired to murder from any one of these mediums then they are already unstable before they use these mediums these types of murders en mass have been around longer than computer games have been that is a pure fact and the video games industry is vetted far more seriously than any of the above media i would suggest that the PC brigade get a life its easy to blame games as in the columbine massicre but the real truth was insitutionalised bullying caused that incident but if far easier to blame doom or bioshock than addressing the real problem

Micky, I know you are at war with punctuation, but couldn't you at least try to start a new line every time you start a new sentence? Press the enter-button every time you would take a breath when speaking out those sentences loud.
