Chess In Concert - Talking Chess lyrics

Anatoly (spoken): What are you doing here Freddie (sung) This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid. Anatoly (sung) Then what on earth are you doing? You could be better employed. Freddie No. Please hear me out. I think I can help. Anatoly If it's about Florence I'm warning you Freddie No. It's not about her, your wife or your kids or money or Walter or Molokov. Anatoly What the hell is it? Freddie I want to talk chess. Anatoly Chess? Freddie Something I've noticed in Viigand. It's his King's Indian Defense. One of the lines he's been trying doesn't completely make sense. Anatoly Why? I don't understand. Freddie I told you his King's Indian Anatoly No, I don't understand why you're helping me. Freddie Because I love chess. Does nobody else? Jesus, sometimes I think I'm the only one. How can you let mediocrity win. Anatoly What about Florence's father? My wife and my children? Freddie You've let them all down already. Win or betray yourself too. You don't want those sh**s to get what they want. Anatoly They'll get what they want. They always do. Freddie No. They won't if you win. Be true to the game. The one thing you know you can count upon. Anatoly What about Florence? Freddie The one thing is chess. Anatoly Chess. Freddie (spoken) How can you let mediocrity win? You have one chance left. Win for chess. You were five one up. Now it's five all. Get a grip.
