Barkley Gaiden co-creator Eric "CBoyardee" Schumaker called the title theme of The Chessmaster "the song that legitimized chess." Laser Time Podcast referred to it as "the soundtrack to a vaudevillian ******ed character in a cartoon walking slowly down to the bus stop." In other words, it's the greatest videogame song of all time.

Join VGdrum The Chessmaster as he makes his triumphant return to YouTube with a videogame music drum cover of the bass-heavy title theme from The Chessmaster, one of the finest Super Nintendo tunes in existence.

The tune's pacing is magnificent and its Seinfeld/Rugrats-inspired slap bass riff and soaring horn sections call to mind the uncertainty one may feel when playing an intense game of chess. Let your ears be pierced by the heavenly high-pitched keys.
