Check Mate???

This is the piece I have been looking for ..... The Chess Chorale from the Musical.

What makes this piece so fascinating is that the Chorale, are "placed" on a large Chessboard, with equal numbers of "players" in "black" or "white" robes. The "piece" begins with a recital of the names of every single World Chess Champion to make a "move".

Tal, Steinitz, Lasker, Botvinnik, Petrosian, Smyslov, Alkehine, Morphy, Spassky, Fischer, Capablanca, Korchoi, Karpov, Kasparov . Check out the names NOT in the Intro!!


The first two minuets of CHESS - ENDGAME !!!
