In its musical rendering, The Game of the Century is performed by two players seated across from each other, a chess board between them, the ticking clock driving the piece as White and Black move exactly as Byrne and Fischer did in 1956, the rhythms coinciding with the flow and strategy. Theatrical yet graded only Medium in level, the players are aided by the extensive performance notes and visual diagrams of how the board should look at key points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/166291960\u0026amp;color=E08319\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=true\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=false\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_artwork=false\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/tapspace\/docs\/game_of_the_century-sample?fr=sMjM2MzE4MTIxNg\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/files\/download_score_sample_small_a30c8cef-1a89-4c57-81ae-6d16c471a6e2_480x480.png?v=1676047266\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T8fsGfX4Q6c\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tapspace Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47210984833367,"sku":"TSPCD-17","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/files\/15218214535_87108ee2a1_o.jpg?v=1697274013","url":"https:\/\/concertandmarchingmusic.com\/it\/products\/the-game-of-the-century-tapspace","provider":"Concert \u0026 Marching Music ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
