| While I have been doing this communication for a while, some are hearing this for the first time. This time around, it feels like a first time for me as well, it just simply hits different and I will leave it at that. Players, coaches, and parents admitted they have sung this in the shower the morning before the State Scholastic. Well…I do too. What is the meaning behind “chess thing?” It comes from this scene in Searching for Bobby Fischer The emails have not been as frequent for the start of 2025, but there are reasons for that. Like an album of Sabrina Carpenter, it just may be the Emails I Can’t Send. It’s times like these…Things just have a way of working out…That said, the John Denver email is a non-negotiable and will go out without fail. Without further ado, I present to with some final advice for this weekend. [Chess] bags are packed and ready to go And notation, and pencil, chess clock, ect. I’m standin’ here outside your door, I hate to wake you up to say goodbye Go on and kiss them goodbye now…oops, wrong song But the dawn is breakin’ it’s early morn’ The taxi’s waitin’ he’s blowin’ his horn Probably feels like being a cab driver at times, eh? Just remind them who keeps a roof over their head. Already I’m so lonesome I could die Chess is not a spectator sport for most people, many find time chatting with fellow parents and really getting to know one another. So kiss me and smile for me, Tell me that you’ll wait for me Flattered, but I don’t know all of you that well. I won’t whisper sweet nothings into your ear. Maybe, I will ever so softly squeeze your shoulder, but nothing more! Hold me like you’ll never let me go She’s sneaky and smoked out. And it’s starting to show…oops wrong song again…but I’ll never let chess go. Cause I’m leavin’ for a [chess thing]; Don’t know when I’ll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go, Congrats Seniors, and to all of you embarking on a new chapter in your lives. There’s so many times I’ve let you down; So many times I’ve played around Many games are decided because of playing too fast, will it happen to you? I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing; Every place I go, I’ll think of you Every song I sing, I’ll sing for you; When I come back, I’ll bring your wedding ring Again, flattered… Cause I’m leavin’ for a [chess thing]; Don’t know when I’ll be back again […dont call it a comeback…] Oh babe, I hate to go For those who have taken the time to read this till the end, thank you for your time. Good Luck to everyone playing this weekend! Jiten Patel, Chess Consultant From your first move to your last On and off the chessboard |
