Chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard, a square checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. It is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide at home, in clubs, online, by correspondence, and in tournaments.
Each player begins the game with sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns, each of these types of pieces moving differently. Pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces. The object of the game is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. In addition to checkmate, the game can be won by the voluntary resignation of one's opponent, which may occur when too much material is lost, or if checkmate appears unavoidable. A game may also result in a draw in several ways, where neither player wins. The course of the game is divided in three phases. The beginning of the game is called the opening (with the development of pieces). The opening yields to the phase called the middlegame. The last phase is the endgame, generally characterized by the disappearance of queens.
Planck was wrong
Freud was too
And that€™s the truth
Leibnitz and Spinosa
And all those other fools
But when they got drunk
They were all the same
And you know when we get drunk
You know were all the same
People die and drown
And drink till they are blue
(and that€™s the truth)
They become nothing special
And to themselves they can€™t be true
Chorus:
Why are we so fucked up all the time
So willing to give up what€™s left of our minds
Not using our ten percent hiding in tents
Of stupidity darkness ignorance
It€™s like putting a gun into your mouth
Five empty chambers
One comes out
Fear€™s your best friend
You€™ve got holes in your shoes
A meaningless life
Well don€™t you know it can€™t be true
Chorus
