1/ "Fits at Chess" might seem like a punchline, but it's a real health concern 🧠. I've been exploring research papers on the negative effects of #Chess on well-being, societies, and ecosystems, and found the first report of chess triggering #epilepsy from 1965. #NorwayChess 2/ These cases fall into a category of reflex #epilepsy - seizures are activated by specific, identifiable triggers.
