I've been thinking of all the past threads on Poker songs - and trying to recall if there are any Chess songs - there may be stuff from the Chess soundtrack that qualifies - (One Night in Bangkok) - but I can't think of any

been trying to write one but it essentially bends to the imagery of a military song - nothing on the caliber of "Mr Mudd and Mr Gold" - (the greatest poker song in the world) - but I got time before I have to do the next album - LOL

in the meantime - can anyone think of any besides what may have been on the Chess soundtrack for the Broadway Musical?

There's a Yes song and a Steely Dan song that both have chess references, but they're not about chess.

This isn't a song, but Bob Dylan tells a chess story. Seems like he could have written a song about it.
