The final chess game is launched with, in this production, a torch-bearing ceremony.
“Endgame” is structured in the concept album, the original 1986 London production, and this production, as effectively three separate songs. It opens with this choral opening, sometimes referred to as “Champions,”...
Chorus: (Names of past world champions)
Tal (x2), Lasker, Steinitz (x2)
Alekhine, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Spassky, Euwe
Karpov, Fischer, Petrosian, Anderssen, Capablanca (x2)
Kasparov, Morphy, Capablanca...
Arbiter: [Spoken]
Gentlemen, the score is five games each
You both need just one more win to be world champion
Frederick: [Spoken]
All eyes in the world of chess and indeed many eyes outside
Are turned towards Bangkok, Thailand today
Where what many here expect to be
The final game of the match in this gripping encounter
Has just been launched with the ceremonial splendor
And all the talk is of the recent sensational loss of form
Of world champion Sergievsky
Who seems certain to surrender his title here today
To the mightily impressive Viigand
