A bit of Filk for your listening consideration. Freshly squozen, just for you! Merry x-mas! (x as in “Take!” Or “my brains were taken last move…” )

“Jingle Blitz”
Dashing through the moves-
Getting through the game.
Pieces in the groove-
Laughing all the way (Check! Check! Check!)
Book moves I do fling-
Making pieces bright…
What fun it is to play and wing
G three all through the night!
Oh, jingle blitz, jingle blitz
Blitzing all the way
Oh what fun it is to play
The ten-moves-a minute way___!
Jingle blitz, jingle blitz
Blitzing all the way
Oh I hope my brains don’t leak
[On my PC] on Christmas Day!
A day or two ago
I logged in to I C C
Have not stopped playing yet
A thousand games on my P C
The modem’s smoking hot
My “fave” lines in my head
I hope I don’t get billed by loss-
or then I would be dead!
Oh, jingle blitz, jingle blitz
Blitzing all the way
Oh what fun it is to play
The ten-moves-a minute way___!
Jingle blitz, jingle blitz
Blitzing all the way
Oh I hope my brains don’t leak
[On my PC] on Christmas Day!

“I’ll Be Playing the Ruy Lopez” (I’ll be Home for Christmas)
I’ll be playing the Ruy Lopez
You can count on me
To drift my Bishop to b5-
The classic lines and trees!
Move fifty-five will find me
Still in book you see…
I’ll be playing the Ruy Lo—pez
If you’ll play e5 to me!

“All I Want for Christmas”
Everybody stops and stares at me
My old chess set? Beat up [as] you can see
I don’t know how my hor-sey died but he did you see
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmas
is the Mammoth I-vor-y
The Mammoth I-vor-y
See the Mammoth Ivory?
Gee if I could only
own the Mammoth I-vor-y
then I could play with you!
“Hey! A Checkmate!”
It seems so long since I could play
Without my King looking like a Queenie!
Gosh oh gee, how happy I’d be,
if I could have those pieces! (rude noise!)
All I want for Christmas
is the Mammoth I-vor-y
the Mammoth I-vor-y
See the Mammoth Ivory?
Gee if I could only
own the Mammoth I-vor-y
then I could play with you!
“Hey! A Checkmate!”
