The Story Of Chess
Freddie: Each game of chess means there's one less Variation left to be played Each day got through means one or two Less mistakes remain to be made
Cast: Not much is known Of early days of chess beyond a fairly vague report That fifteen hundred years ago two princes fought Though brothers, for a Hindu throne
Svetlana: Their mother cried For no-one really likes their offspring fighting to the death She begged them stop the slaughter with her every breath But sure enough one brother died
Cast: Sad beyond belief She told her winning son Svetlana: You have caused such grief I can't forgive this evil thing you've done
Freddie: He tried to explain How things had really been But he tried in vain No words of his could mollify the queen Florence: And so he asked the wisest men he knew The way to lessen her distress
Freddie: They told him he'd be pretty certain to impress By using model soldiers on A chequered board to show it was his brother's fault
All: They thus invented chess

Florence and Svetlana: Next the Arabs refined it, Thus redesigned, it progressed
Anatoly: Still further yet And when Constantinople fell in 1453 One would have noticed every other refugee Included in his bags a set
Svetlana: Once in the hands And in the minds of leading figures of the Renaissance
Freddie: The spirit and the speed of chess made swift advance Through all of Europe's vital lands
Cast: Where we must record The game was further changed Right across the board The western touch upon the pieces ranged
King and queen and rook And bishop, knight and pawn All took on the look We know today, the modern game was born
Freddie: And in the end We see a game that started by mistake in Hindustan And boosted in the main by what is now Iran Become the simplest and most obligating pleasure Yet defies what just the kind of mind who would appreciate This well researched and fascinating yarn
