 Don’t stay up all night playing bullet games Or chase your Elo rating as a goal Trust what the engine says, but not too much! Use it wisely and don’t ignore The Dutch. In the end, time rules. It always will. Those rules are written on the clocks The players play their chequered parts until Each piece is gently placed back in the box. Just as it started out Oh yeah Just as it started out.
