Whats on your mind when you sit down to play a game of chess ?

nothing except the game...you forget everything as you play chess

Girls and drink, nad not necessarily in that order.

I think about trying not to lose yet another piece.

Just my opponent, the board, and myself - nothing else.

My own little escape from reality :)

Chess takes over when I play, nothing else is important, only the game at hand. If I win everyone says "of course he won, hes the best in the school" if I lose then I become another woodpusher at the club.

Enjoyment

Annihilation

Just hoping i can think straight this time !

The victory after the game.

haha, crappy songs, or good ones for that matter, dont leave easily during a game once they are in.  They just go round and round, except, not the whole song, just the catchy bit that your subconscious has learnt off by heart.  The "song" I quite often find i'm mentally singing along to is the ticking of the clock.  Just "tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick..." and there's no point in trying to get rid of it.  I think it helps me think anyway, and at least it's better than pop/indie music.

We're all friends here, rich. It's okay, you can admit it... 

Rael got me, oh well lol.

To provide more context for claypot's comment, from the game we (just) finished:

Rael: and the winning endgame goes to...
Rael: a pot of clay!
Rael: haha

claypot: thank you... thank you... Ever since I was a lump of clay, I had to overcome the fear that I might become an ashtray. But, I'm here to tell you, that if I can become a pot of clay, then dagnamit, anybody can!!

Rael: you were the famous clay pot made by Demi Moore in Ghost, weren't you?

claypot: she has very nice hands... very nice hands...

MY Sweet Sweet Sweet...... BABY ♥

How long until my next meal.

Lol, that's a good one.
