A “chest infection” is not a “chess infection” and has nothing to do with the game of chess, but there are jokes.
“It must be cold in Russia, I hope Garry Kasparov doesn’t get a chess infection” was posted on Twitter by ERROR 404 on February 14, 2012. “I was having trouble breathing, found out I’ve got a knight, a bishop and a rook in my lungs. Turns out I’ve got a chess infection” was posted on Twitter by Paul Savage on January 15, 2013. “I had a chess infection the other day. I swallowed a bishop” was posted on Twitter by Wayne Shakespeare on August 23, 2014. “Medical diagnosis is rarely black and white unless it’s a chess infection.#FoxPun” was posted on Twitter by Newsfox on January 13, 2015.
“Every time I cough I hear the words, Bishop, Knight, Pawn, Queen. The doctor says I have a chess infection” was posted on Twitter by Willygunner on September 10, 2016. “went to the Dr’s yesterday and said that everytime I cough I hear words like Knight Bishop pawn and queen. He said I had a chess infection” was posted on Twitter by Sarah Shearing on September 26, 2016. “Went to the doctors this morning and told him everytime I cough I hear words like Knight Bishop Pawn and Queen. He said I’ve got a Chess infection” was posted on Twitter by Bob Kostic on September 11, 2018. “I went to the doctors this morning and told him that every time I cough I hear words like knight bishop pawn and queen… He said I had a chess infection!” was posted on Twitter by Jokes UK 馃敒 on August 6, 2022.
“This morning I coughed up a pawn, a knight and a bishop. I must have a chess infection” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on December 30, 2022, and again on Reddit—Dadjokes on February 16, 2023.
