One night in Bangkok by Head Murray


AMAZING! I love it!

 

[Smash]

I always liked White Rabbit(Jefferson Airplane) for chess

 

[Achinz]

Bach's Goldberg Variations for me - works for me as it was supposed to work for Bach's aristocratic patron.

 

[SanPellegrino]

well, "Iron Fist" by Motorhead is obviously a chess song

Shouldn't that be "One knight in Bangkok"

 

[FireBall]

I usually listen to some Instrumental, you know, Govi, Yanni, all that good stuff?

 

[Mr. Guy]

I have one night in bangkok for my band (at school), it's definitly night, not knight

 

[Achinz]

But for listening while playing chess, knight sounds better than night

 

[Souron]

The kind of sound the same, if you know what I mean.

1. Prologue - The Players.
2. Dance of the Red Pawns.
3. Dance of the Four Knights.
4. Entry of the Black Queen.
5. The Red Knight's Mazurka
6. Ceremony of the Red Bishops.
7. Entry of the Red Castles
8. Entry of the Red King and Queen
9. The Attack
10. The Duel.
11. The Black Queen Dances
12. Finale - Checkmate

Go for Lords of the Boards by Guano Apes

I've got the snowboard under my feet
I can fly so high, I can fall so deep
But who do I see comin' up the track
A little green man with the snowboard on his back

He said: And now I'm flying like an angel to the sun
My feet are burning and I grab into another world

With the lord of the boards you'll come and get around
With the lord of the boards, go mad like a clown

I can stay behind him if I can
I wanna be a little more than an "also-ran"
Through every curve He's got me beat
And maybe it's time that I accept defeat

And now I'm flying like an angel to the sun
My feet are burning and I grab into another world

With the lord of the boards you'll come and get around
With the lord of the boards, go mad like a clown (4x)

I like the musical soundtrack to Amadeus (Mozart) for chess. Another good one is The Yes Album ('Your move').

I like the sound of a kettle boiling. A fresh cup of coffee means +20 points for me
