[MOLOKOV] Comrades! Why are you looking so worried? We are not dealing with the traitor Sergievsky now. Comrade Viigand is a disciplined Soviet chess-playing machine!
Just in case you feel a trace of doubt or even nervous tension, Let me draw the latest score to your attention. Not the score the witless corps of commentators are debating; Come, admit, who gives a shit for Elo rating?
No, I prefer and I’m sure you concur to see who’s ahead psychologically. For example, we have on tap an inscrutable chap whose thoughts never stray From the state of the play.
Viigand!
Whereas... It’s so difficult to concentrate if you have left your native country For a woman who has plans of her own. It’s not easy for a chap to excel, feeling guilty as hell, Having left his wife to face the music alone
But even worse imagine if his ladies met! Well, then I’ll bet The atmosphere round here would be a little strained As he explained...
How could he do what he’s done to those two Most wonderful girls—"yes, I love you both!" Starting from scratch they’ll torpedo his match, His horsepower dead on the board and in bed.
Bit by bit the pieces fit the Soviet machine advances Not one move that won’t improve our nation’s chances. We predict a stunning victory Both on the board and off it This will show the traitor no one rats with profit
Oh we’re gonna smash that bastard Make him wanna change his name Take him to the cleaners and devastate him Wipe him out, humiliate him We don’t want the whole world saying They can’t even win a game We have never reckoned on coming second There’s no use in losing
We can feel the flame of triumph burning Our people’s pride returning
Bit by bit the pieces fit, The Soviet machine advances Not one move that won’t improve our nation’s chances
No, I prefer and I’m sure you concur To see who’s ahead psychologically For example, we have on tap an inscrutable chap Whose thoughts never stray From the state of the play
Bit by bit the pieces fit The Soviet machine advances Not one move that won’t improve Our nation’s chances We predict a stunning victory Both on the board and off it We will show the traitor no one rats with profit
