Me, I play chess just for fun, these guys...probably gambled.
SLIDELL, La. (AP) - An argument over a game of chess ended with a fight in which one player rammed the other's head through a plate-glass window, St. Tammany Parish authorities said.
Robert Talley, 34, was booked with second-degree battery and later released on bond, Sheriff's department spokesman James Hartman said.
Robert Henderson, 42, emerged from the broken window with several serious lacerations, deputies said. He was released after treatment at Northshore Regional Medical Center, Hartman said.
The fight occurred about 1 a.m. Sunday at Talley's house, which is about five miles from Henderson's.
