Chess n Rock n roll!?

Question

Do you think chess is a game which can be compared with rock n roll music?

Answer 1

Chess and rock n roll musis go together like sugar and tea, honey and lemon, Antartica and snow.

Answer 2

I always compared it to small combo jazz but rock works.  If by Rock and Roll you mean 1950's stuff like Elvis, sure.

One can compare apples to oranges, or igneous rock formations.

Answer 3

I think that chess can be compared to good rock n roll.

As you coordinate you chess pieces for a solid match you must do the same with the indivual components of your band to excel.

Answer 5

Yes I do.

Answer 6

Absolutely!  Rock and roll is classic, and so is chess!!

Answer 7

If I had to compare Chess to a music style.. I'd go with Rock n' Roll.

a) In terms of traditional games (like Backgammon, Checkers, Dominoes Go, XiangQi) it's one of the most recently "designed" games. (Chess as played today is from the 15th century.)

b) The theme of the game is a battle.. which in my opinion defines the spirit of rock n' roll.

If I had to assign classical music to a game.. it'd be the game of GO. In classical music there are fugues and themes.. which is a good way to explain the gameplay of GO.  Groups and shapes move across the board in a beautifully orchestrated strategy.
