๐ Lyrics
1866, Wilhelm Steinitz
1894, Emanuel Lasker
How straightforward the game
When one has trust in one's player! (1921, Josรฉ Capablanca)
And how great the relief
Working for one who believes in
Loyalty, heritage
True to his kind come what may (1927, Alex Alkehine)
How straightforward the game (1935, Euwe)
When one is free from distraction (1948, Mikhail Botvinnik)
When your only concern
Is laid out so clearly before you
64 squares, they're the reason you know exist (1957, Vasily Smylov)
It's the weak who accept (1960, Tal)
Tawdry untruths about freedom (1963, Tigran Petrosian)
Prostituting themselves
Chasing a spurious starlight
Trinkets in airports
Sufficient to lead them astray (1969, Boris Spassky)
Does the player exist (1972)
In any human endeavor? (Bobby Fischer โ 1975, Anatonly Karpov)
Who's been known to resist
Sirens of fame and possessions?
They will destroy you, not rivals, not age, not success (1956, Budapest is rising)
1956, Budapest is fighting
1956, Budapest is falling
1956, Budapest is dying
1894, Emanuel Lasker
How straightforward the game
When one has trust in one's player! (1921, Josรฉ Capablanca)
And how great the relief
Working for one who believes in
Loyalty, heritage
True to his kind come what may (1927, Alex Alkehine)
How straightforward the game (1935, Euwe)
When one is free from distraction (1948, Mikhail Botvinnik)
When your only concern

It's the weak who accept (1960, Tal)
Tawdry untruths about freedom (1963, Tigran Petrosian)

Sufficient to lead them astray (1969, Boris Spassky)

In any human endeavor? (Bobby Fischer โ 1975, Anatonly Karpov)
Who's been known to resist
Sirens of fame and possessions?
They will destroy you, not rivals, not age, not success (1956, Budapest is rising)
1956, Budapest is fighting
1956, Budapest is falling
1956, Budapest is dying
