Is there such thing as "luck" in chess?

    I love the song Angel by Hendrix...

    he says...

    Well she's walking through the clouds
    With a circus mind that's running round
    Butterflies and zebras
    And moonbeams and fairy tales
    That's all she ever thinks about
    Riding with the wind.

    Actually that is "Little Wing," a song Hendrix wrote about his mother.

    yeah, your right.... I thought it was angel, then went to look up lyrics, realizing it was little wing, I copied and pasted, but I forgot to change the first part of my post.

    I was thinking of something more along the lines of Classical or Jazz.  I don't really listen to rock too much anymore.

    Come on. There is no such thing as luck in chess except for which color you play as, only mistakes by one side or the other.

    Aha, you will never find me!  For I will be somewhere hidden amongst these multitudes, just waiting for Skynyrd to get to "Free Bird" (whoooo!!)...

    This one has to count as a lucky win from the ongoing Russian Superfinal. Sjugirov has played 82. ... Rg5 83. Kf8 Rf5+ 84. Ke7 Rg5 85. Kf8 against Jakovenko and is thinking about just finishing the repetition draw but suddenly gets creative and decides to draw in a more exciting way with Rxg7. The problem is that he used up all his increment time while going for this drawing line instead of the other one, and lost on time:
