Now this kind of chess is exciting!

I like the game of chess and all the strategy, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that sitting down and watching other people play is one of the most boring activities I can think of. If other games were like this one, then I would certainly have a different opinion.

The only thing that bothers me about this video is the music. I know I know the song – I’d be willing to bet it’s Tchaikovsky – and I’m pretty sure it’s from The Nutcracker, but I can’t find anything to confirm it.

Can someone help me out with this one?
