So sad he shall never win ...but for him I shall play my violin
Whilst at his funeral the sad
pawns stand crying.
Don't say to me "Dear move fast" or I will make your game long last
Some play to win, some play for fun, some play slow....and I am one
I **LOVED** these 2 lines. I am old and slow, I admit it. But why do people join a game that I invite them to play....and then make comments like "MOVE!!" or "play" when I am thinking? I mean, "are you there" is OK, I guess, but the other stuff is just RUDE. I play 14 mins. each mostly and if I want to take 13 mins. to think about 1 move and then have only 1 minute for THE REST OF THE GAME, that's MY business, right? After all, if I burn my own time indiscriminately, that is good for the opponent, right? I believe they are secretly afraid that I might come up with a winning move.
I disable chat for "boring!!" more often than for "@#$#%@&" lately. A shame, but those who say I am too slow, will ABSOLUTELY wait till the end of the time limit to win OR LOSE. Remember that you people who are either truly impatient or who think they are actually psyching someone out! ....are actually just dopes.
D'oh! A "Homer" moment...didn't really mean to rant...but you other old and/or slow guys know what I mean. You know who u r. 
I totally agree, some very impatient people out there, and I spend 2 HOURS DAILY on chess. I still get the prompts to "hurry dear", well I don't let it phase me anymore. But every piece of theirs I take is a sweet reward. Put more effort into beating them. (Or tell them to go and get a life!)
yes the cry for we see in their eyes,the tears of joy
and the kind shall say ahoy! ahoy!
pepare for battle we received a rematch battle.

pepare for battle we received a rematch battle.
And his pawns ashes strewn amongst the ocean,
Floating away with each waves motion,
R.I.P. your little mates
Whilst a long slow war yet awaits...
Your brothers and sisters shall soon cross the side...
As we wait for the outgoing tide..
Don't cry no more, for all will be fine
Rejoice the life you have left, and drink your wine.
Dear would you move fast to the computer, so that we may see who has the best friends?

..cause his time is the best,and when he moves even the waves knows
As for chess there shall be no rest.until my king sees the need
The need?
To win!I mean. CHECKMATE
cos he was just playing like the king of the jungle
with a A Prey it dangles
dont ask me who
and if you do.
the answer is tHE LION.
Thought on a LIGHTER note I would share this with you....
I wrote it a few days ago while beating the searing Australian heat indoors.
CHESS PLAYER"S ANTHEM
They say my chess is in a mess.... but I play on nevertheless,
With my morning coffee I hope to steal...
Your knights and rooks and your beloved queen,
A little bit of scotch at night....I can only PRAY ... I "get it right"
Don't say to me "Dear move fast" or I will make your game long last
Some play to win, some play for fun, some play slow....and I am one
Well I gave up all, even smoking..
But give up CHESS???? You gotta be joking!
Some say it's a "phase" that I am passing through...
I nod my head and let'em think it's true
But when I went to sleep last night ..... I had this dream about my knight..
For he was up and rearing, the queen on the run and screaming...(ahhhhhhh)
And all the pawns were dancing, holding hands, romancing..
As they watched the rook win the fight...
Those bishops they then come together .......
with one brave pawn to face the weather...
Whilst the king he stood in solitude.... nowhere left to run...no room to move.
