I Just noticed while going through my music collection that there's a song that starts with a centence that states when you're winning a game of chess.

 

First one to guess get's err.. bragging rights Tongue out.

 

I guess if nobody guesses i'll give a hint every now and then!

Ok, what era?  70s?  80s?  90s?

The band started in the '80s but the song was released in 2003. It wasn't on their album of that time, but was played during their concert live in 2004.

Sounds like it could be Half Man Half Biscuit; 'Bad Losers on Yahoo Chess' but I don't think that that's the lyrics? And maybe it's a bit too early... It's a very fine song though (it's on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzKdtMGBphY)r/>

Sorry -- I am out....I only live in the 80s, so here is my wild shot in the dark: Europe?  Creators of that wonderful synthesizer riff in "The Final Countdown"?  I have no idea of the title, though.

The band's from the states.

If you haven't heard of them you should be ashamed of yourself, they're very famous worldwide and often loved because of the guitar player's solos. The band's name is a certain vegetable used to spice things up Tongue out.

 

This particular song, however, is a lot less known.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Fortune Faded ? The spicy thing gave it away Smile

Damn, you got it! Nice one.

 

The song starts with the centance:

"They say in chess you've got to kill the queen and then you've made it"
