On those rare moments when I clean my house, I like to turn on the classic rock television station and listen to my favorite old tunes. I recently enjoyed this jewel that I hadn't heard in ages. Although I've been a Chess player since the age of five and am currently a sponsor of the Chess team, I just now made the obvious connection of this song to the game. Interesting what we discover when we actually listen to words.

Well I never made the connection either! And I really like this song.
My Dad was a chess player. The only one who ever beat him was my son when he was about 5 years old. Go figure.
Great song. I never really thought it about it and chess before. Interesting.
Happy Monday and Happy thanksgiving ♥♥
Well I wouldn't have connected it either till now, amazing how sometimes we singalong but take no notice of the lyrics sometimes :-)
Have a checkmatetastic week :-)
The only way I would make a connection to this and chess is if I were to actually read the lyrics. Perhaps even then I may not get it, but to hear the words alone then I would not get it. Anywho, thanks for sharing the new-to-me tune! Great to see you on the dance floor with the 4M crew on Monday's Music Moves Me & thanks for the visit this morning.
My hubby is a chess player - I am going to have to bring this to his attention.
Ive seen all good people - Love that song!
I have never heard this song before. How cool to find a song all about chess. I am not that good of chess player but enjoy playing it when given the chance.♥
Oh..I listened to this one, too. Good song! Gees...I'm just a checker player..Happy Monday!
This was an interesting choice. I love the connection to chess.
I would love to learn to play chess. I want my son to learn too.
Thanks for sharing.
So interesting!! I always connected it to Alice In Wonderland (the actual book I mean, Through the Looking Glass) because... but then that makes total sense because the chess game in that book! I think there might actually be a direct quote???
Yep - it's like a light just went off. LOL
Plus I like that you can hear Give Peace a Chance playing just before the change.
I like cleaning my house to music, too. As for chess, haven't played in years.
Hugs and chocolate,
