On Saturday 26 October 2024, Björn's official social media released this funny little video showing Björn playing chess with himself, one Björn wearing black and one wearing white.

It appeared to show two sides to the same man (how very I'm A Marionette!), with them talking about the musical Chess .

This was to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the release of the Chess  double album.

Black: You're not a very good chess player are you?

White: Ah, look who's talking.  You're not exactly a Grandmaster yourself!

Black: Why on earth then would you co-create a musical about chess?

White: Well, it's not about chess really.

Black: I'm confused!

White: Some of the characters play chess, that's all.  They could have been playing ice-hockey.

Black: So the Second Act takes place in Thailand, why is that?

White: Because of the song I think.

Black: One Night In Bangkok?

White: Yes

Black: There's a rumour on the internet that you suffer from memory loss.

White: Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Black: But you were happy after the première of Chess in London?

White: I think I must have been - and it's great fun!

Black: Which I can't say about this conversation!

White: Mr Spirituality himself talking!

Black: Why does this have to happen every time we play chess?

White: Oh maybe we don't see eye-to-eye on everything, but I thought for once you would come up with some interesting topic, that you might be inciteful. 

Black: Oh, but I could be, but I don't think you would appreciate what I would say!

White: No, no, no no, we're not going there!

Black: We could talk about how hard it is for some men to accept defeat.   Checkmate!

White: Oh not again, not again!
