Browsing Youtube after half a bottle of Black & White (but it doesn't taste like a chessboard...), stumbling upon my favourite YES song "I've seen all good people" and for the first time noticing Chess elements in the words:
"I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
So satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
So satisfied I'm on my way.
Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life.
Make the white queen run so fast
She hasn't got time to make you wise.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time
With your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Move me on to any black square,
Use me any time you want,
Just remember that the gold
Is for us all to capture all we want
(Move me on to any black square)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an instant karma to me,
Initial it with loving care
Don't surround
Yourself.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time
With your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit don't surround
Didda. - yourself with yourself.
Don't surround yourself with yourself, don't surround yourself.
Move on back two squares,
Send an instant karma to me, send an instant
Initial it with loving care karma to me. don't surround yourself.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time
With your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time
With your time and its news is captured.
II. all good people
I've seen all good people turn their heads
Each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
Yeah, yeah.
I've seen all good people turn their heads
Each day so satisfied I'm on my way."
There is a long debate, and crazy to my poor understanding right now, at

ONCEUPON, time for a Rock/Chess oriented whatever new thread, maybe?
This rapper, GZA, seems to be a Washington park costumer...

I can see what you mean - I remember after my first win singing 'Did it!' for days.
|
|
|
Oh I "did it" too, when I won my first tourney! 
|
|
|
I never "did it", I only "play" on the Internet, and not in real life.

Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.

No, I don't think so.

Robelix,
Your post is nothing more than a spazmodic seizure on your keybord.
