No-one ever says Reykjavik in a song

This guy was one of three, playing against one person in a blindfold, who was being told their moves by another person. I don't know chess, but I think the blindfolded guy was winning all three games. Oh, and a prize for the first person to get the slightly obscure reference in the title.

• Hmm, great men think alike again! Surely this one looks very organized. And thanks again for elephant chess!

• He looks serious about the game! I also like the perspective. Almost looks like you were playing him!

  From memory I remember something about Bobby Fischer and the title of your image perhaps a quote he said? Anyhoodle....
  This is a really good street protrait Heath and the concentration captured on this gentleman's face is magic. The chess board and it's checkered pattern with the table cloth create a unique little perspective that draws the eye down to the table and board.

• A great study of concentration – a bit like me as I tried to fathom where I could hear those words to music . . your local band, Lazy Susan, Paul Andrews.

• I like the portrait. Great concentration there. As for the title....I recall a song that goes:
  "Reykjavik, Reykjavik you never know what you'll get"
  "If you play chess with Rudolph Hess you know you'll end up in a mess"
  Actually, I just made that up. Can't you tell? I have no idea. Please tell us!
