	Chess Records - History and Favourite Artists
		One of the earlier female artists to record material which questioned traditional male dominance and asserted the need for female independence, she later became an arch exponent of this genre, along with artists such as Millie Jackson and Betty Wright.
		The Chess reputation also attracted the 'new breed' of blues artists, including Otis Rush and Buddy Guy - it also got a new lease of life in the 60s when the so called blues boom generated renewed interest in both the recordings and the artists who made them.
		Surprisingly to many, Chess didn't just concentrate on the blues idiom (see other column) but they never attracted the same kudos or commercial success as the likes of Atlantic and Stax, although artistically at least, much of the label's R'n'B output was equal to that of any recorded elsewhere.

		I'm open to new records and suggestions for new categories, but only "serious and verifiable tournament games", although that is an elastic concept, will be considered.
		A special record was set by GM Cheparinov who played games of 155 and 150 moves vs. Stefanova and Onischuk in consecutive rounds in the Corus (B) Tournament of 2005.

	Save America's Treasures - Project Profile
		Recordings such as "Johnny B. Goode," "Rescue Me," and "Red Rooster" were all recorded at Chess, and in the 1960s, the Rolling Stones immortalized the address in the Blues instrumental "2120 S. Michigan Avenue," much of which was recorded there.
		Chess was a very significant record label that made a huge impression on European groups, including the Rolling Stones, who took their name from the widely popular Muddy Waters tune, "Rollin’ Stone."
		However, further restoration of the recording facilities is still needed to fully re-capture the heart and look of its 1950’s and 60’s heyday.

		Surprisingly to many, Chess didn't just concentrate on the blues idiom, launching a jazz-based label, Argo, in 1956, but they never attracted the same kudos or commercial success as the likes of Atlantic and Stax, although artistically at least, much of the label's R'n'B output was equal to that of any recorded elsewhere.
		The great Etta James was signed to Chess subsidiary Argo in 1959, she had hits from 1960 ('All I Could Do Was Cry') through to 1963 ('Pushover)'.
		An artist whose reputation largely rests on the recording of one song, Chess artist Billy Stewart should nonetheless be remembered for much more than his idiosyncratic hit version of the Gershwin standard Summertime'.

	Jelly review: Chess Records Fiftieth Anniversary Collection
		At this juncture, Chess is in the unenviable position of having a massive archive that has been released and re-released countless times.
		Recorded in 1948 with just his acoustic guitar and Ernest Crawford on bass, it remains a vital piece of work after a half-century.
		Enter Marshall Chess, with the bright idea of pairing Muddy Waters up with a modern psychedelic band to update some of his classics, like "Mannish Boy" and "Hoochie Coochie Man." You know, what those songs really need is a bad Hendrix imitation band to soup them up.

	Chess Records

		In 1956 the Chess brothers diversified into jazz recording under the Argo label, retaining a crack production team of arranger/composer Willie Dixon and Malcolm Chisholm, a recording engineer with Universal Studios.

		Chess had three other sites, and none of them served the role of this site, which was a recording studio, office and distribution location.
		I give him the records, and he looks through it and he says, ‘Yeah, this I can listen to and play, this I can listen to and play.’ And he got to a Howlin’ Wolf record, and he says, ‘I don’t play this,’ and he throws it to the side.
		Having finished paying my respects to the old Chess Records building, I march back up the stairs, satisfied with the balance that Blues Heaven seems to have struck between instilling appreciation for the blues tradition and championing the cause of those who have been or hope not to be exploited by the music industry.

		Recording Little Walter with Muddy Waters was one of the Chess brothers' delayed reactions to the Parkway session of January 1950.
		And Sax Mallard recorded another session for the label, but this was definitely an R&B effort; in the future, he would be restricted to accompanying singers and doo-wop groups.
		In another case, the Chess brothers decided to re-pair two gospel sides by the Reverend Robert Anderson: Chess 858 thus consisted of one side from Premium 858 and one from Premium 859 (the Premiums were, in their turn, reissues of singles from the Miracle label).

		In this survey of chess records, I have limited myself to the practical game itself: no longest winning streaks or youngest champions; no selfmates in 418.
		Evidently, 'this is the record' means: 'this is the record known to me, as of the latest update.' Some of these records, like 'Longest Game' and 'Most Queens on the Board', have been the subject of publications for a century; others are just meant as an opening bid.
		This record is still in the hands of a Queen from the times of Queen Victoria, with 73 consecutive moves.

		Although Chess continued to record great artists like Buddy Guy and Etta James in the '60s, its moment had passed by 1969?the year of Leonard's death and its sale to GRT?and by '75 nothing was left but a back catalogue to be tussled over.
		When Chess released a record in 1950 by an unknown (to white audiences anyway) blues singer named Muddy Waters, an empire was born, built on the foundation of blues and later rock'n'roll.
		Chess was not the only trailblazing record label; in Little Labels?Big Sound we get a rundown of ten of the best, featuring such labels as Dial Records, instrumental in starting the bebop revolution with Charlie Parker, and Sun Records, which jump-started rock'n'roll by recording Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins.

		After unwisely switching to Mercury Records for a few lean years, he returned home to Chess and scored his biggest pop hit of all in 1972 with "My Ding-A-Ling." Bo Diddley recorded a slew of Checker LPs throughout the decade, his trademark beat never faltering.
		So inspired by the magnificent output of Chess were the Rolling Stones that they immortalized the label's famous address, 2120 S. Michigan Avenue, in song on one of their early LPs.
		Though at the tail end of the decade producer Marshall Chess submerged Waters and Wolf in a quagmire of psychedelia, each legend emerged with his vaunted reputation intact.

		I was raised during the heyday of the independent record business and was lucky enough to know and work with many of the great Chess artists, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and many others.
		I was going to call the project 2120 (the landmark Chess Studio address, 2120 South Michigan) in honor of all the great music that came out of the Chess Studios and all the fl music that surrounded me as I was growing up.
		For many years I have been thinking that the old way of recording without extensive over-dubbing was a key ingredient in getting the magic and feeling back in the music.
