I don't know how it is down there, but up here the chess is above the waistline. Higher above it the better, IMO.Originally posted by AlabamAlum View PostComment

That's what I said.

Oops. But you did send me looking for a connection there. What a weird song! Haven't thought about it in forever.
1. Those are pretty good lyrics, actually.
2. A musical about chess? Wow. I mean, just a guess, but the choreography there either writes itself and we can all sleep through it, or maybe you have to do some stretching to make it interesting. Did someone take that on as a degree-of-difficulty challenge?Comment

Great line.Comment

One thing about it, the author of the song knew chess. I say that because of one line:
Of course Iceland refers to Reykjavik, site of the 1972 World Championship. But few outside the chess world know how important Hastings and Manila were in international chess tourneys."It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings"

Of course the graphic at the beginning shows a chess board. A major faux pas, much to my chagrin, is that with that orientation of the board the bottom right square should be white.

I'd just like to have been in the room where somebody successfully pitched a musical about chess.Comment

Chess is a 2,000-year-old game. It is the mind sport of the intellectual. It combines spatial relationships, problem solving, and requires no luck. No lucky draw cards, no officiating errors - nothing but your ability to reason against your opponent's -- all framed within 64 squares and 32 pieces, which combine to give more possible moves than there are grains of sand in the entire world.
It upsets me that they attached the triviality of a musical to it."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

It is hard to think of a poorer fit. For those reasons, but also that chess is largely done while sitting, not dancing. And there's no singing either.Comment

And their WRs sometimes catch with their feet and not with their hands. Could be a pattern here.Comment
