dont know about playing chess to but electric ladyland is great late at night with a good single malt and the headphones on.

btw i was at the 1970 IOW festival and heard him play live before he went to london and died.

For playing chess to, my preference would be Little Wing. Perhaps Red House.

In attack mode you could maybe try Machine Gun.

For playing Chess, I'd pick either Voodoo Chile (slight return), if 6 was 9, or hey Joe. 

However, I find it more beneficial to make my opponent listen to certain music if I want to win.  "Operation Filth

                          they love to love the wealth

                          of an SS whore makin' scary

 

                                                           sounds."

Not that it's hendrix but great guitar to listen to while playing would be...

Funkadelic - Maggot Brian

Great 10 minute long guitar solo, they used to play it every saturday at midnight on a radio station I used to listen to. Great stuff.
