   Infact, "no more travelling chess" is a line from "In the End", which is from Peter Hammill's album "Chameleon in the Shadow of the Night".  The line "No more rushing around, no more travelling chess;" related back to when Hammill and David Jackson (I think), played travel chess on the tourbus (which they shared with Genesis and Lindesfarne on the 6 bob tours).

"Fool's Mate" is in relation to the fastest way to get some in Check Mate.

Hammill even refers to Alice in Wonderland, but not in relation to Chess, on his album "Over".

	'Dance Of The Knights' Prokoviev was adapted by ELP and called 'Romeo And Juliet'. The ELP track 'The Miracle' also has the lyric ''The Bishop Takes The Pawn'' By the way the qickest way to deliver checkmate is : 1g4 e5 (or e6) 2 f3 (or f4) Qh4 fascinating for non chess players I expect

	The musical "Chess" by Björn and Benny is not prog enough to appear here, I suppose? That's what I figured. If you feel that way, don't pay attention to this remark then. Wipe it off your memory.
