Why insure your chess practice?

High-level chess involves long hours seated in a fixed posture, putting constant pressure on the back and neck. Repeated movements to press the clock strain the wrist and can cause tendonitis. Intense mental fatigue toward the end of a tournament also increases the risk of faintness and drops in blood pressure. Standard club membership and general contracts cover these accidents poorly, and medical costs add up fast...

A dedicated personal accident insurance takes over: medical costs, transport, rehabilitation and disability are covered according to your plan, in training as in tournament. You can then play with a free mind.
