Best music to play chess to.

A tad more hygienic than, say, tousling the grandmasters' hair in a brazen cocky fashion.

I have a mental image that defies my paltry descriptive powers.

Nah, you could sling a sentence or two together. Get the words "throbbing" and "frissons" in there somewhere. Maybe "comb-over" too, if you must be brutal about some of the grandmasters. Lubricate with a smidgeon of alliteration.

With his comb-over curled in my fist, I sashayed stood thigh high from a8 to h8 - coz he was playing white and my dark dark rooks were inches from my fly.

I figure Moulin Rouge was a missed opportunity for Lynch.

Any De Heer recommendations? Never heard of him.

Bad Boy Bubby - somewhere down the road headed towards the Eraserhead end of things. But a masterpiece, I think.

Alexandra's Project.

The Tracker.

I smell love sparkling in the air, out of nowhere... dazzling, as always.

Blame the hangover, I didn't see Bubby on the wiki. That was fantastic; much better than Eraserhead.

I'd like to know more about Bonaparte's chess.

Not much is known about Napoleon's chess and I have found only three games, of which the only probable authentic one is Napoleon V. Bertrand. I read excerpts from the following article in a dentist's office: Ein Schachspiel des Kaisers Napoleon’, in Deutsche Schachzeitung, March 1853, pages 105-106. (English version, ‘Chessmen and Board of the Emperor Napoleon: The Chess Player, 1853, pages 303-304.) In a book of military history it was theorized he developed some military ideas from chess.

Yeah, Bob relaxes me quite well, and that's what I need for correspondene. For blitz? For blitz I prefer Wagner.

If it's Parsifal you must lose a lot at blitz! Try Blue Cheer instead(only available in vinyl at ancient vintage record places). You might also try midget wrestler choral music from Wiz of Oz.

I prefer Lohengrin... or, even better, der ring des Nibelungen .

NO argument. The Ring is one of humanity's great art works. Lohengrin is a proto ring. Magnificent in its own right. Parsifal is great too, but more pensive. I like all music except rap and out of tune ranchera/Texano!

Mozart Symphony #39

Most any Vivaldi.

Scheherazade.
