Police responding to screams coming from apartment found frustrated lone chess player

Norwegian police responding to emergency calls about screams from an apartment were shocked to find the howls belonged to a lone chess player displeased with his performance.

The police received several calls on Monday evening after people heard screams coming from the apartment in Oslo.



When a police patrol arrived to investigate, they found the screams had come from a male chess enthusiast who was playing against a computer and had been repeatedly out-moved.

“We found a chess player frustrated by constantly losing against his own PC,” a police spokesperson said
