Don't worry about the chessy/cheesy thing - it was done on purpose inspired by a recent misspelling on ILE.

OK then, I won't. I shall gleefully carry on in a strange little cheese-based world of my own, while everyone else is trying to have serious conversations about chess.

They need to invent cheesy chess and chessy cheese.

You could carve chess pieces out of cheese: a pale cheese like Cheddar for the white pieces and something like Red Leicester for the black ones; and make a chess board by cutting up 2 different types of cheese slice and arranging them in alternate colums and rows!

Do you get to eat any pieces you capture?

you could only really eat pawns, in case they converted any of the past pawns into a piece.

Don't you just know some complete and uter blithering imbecile is going to misread that last post as saying prawns, then try to make some feeble, pathetic joke about it?

soundtrack to the Fischer King

"The Windmills of Your Mind". Then afterwards you could shag Faye Dunaway.

anything by this guy (I personally vote for "Wrapped Around Your Finger")

Is that Sting?

You sure don't get much cheesier than that.

Red Queen to Gryphon Three is GREAT to play chess to.

I nominate Steely Dan's Dirty Work: "Like a castle in a corner in a medeival game, I foresee terrible trouble, but I stay here just the same..."

Other musicians known to be top players: Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Anthony Braxton.

― briania (briania), Monday, 16 August 2004 14:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, "Your Move"
Bob Dylan, "Only A Pawn In Their Game"
Sex Pistols, "God Save The Queen"

and for my obligatory MX-80 Sound reference,
"Theme From Checkmate"

braxton vs dylan in chess championship - i would actually pay like $200 to sit front row at this. i dont even know why. it would just rule.

Yeah, you could try to spot the parallels between their playing styles and their musical inclinations. Who would be the aggressor?
