Nope, I dont know any celtic languages (yet 😖hifty: ), though I love welsh (cf the last part of the sig ^^)...
The words are Anglo-Saxon, a translation of a part of a poem by Tolkien:
Nu græg tearlice, | glæd seolfor,
read ða weallde, | wæter grymetiende:
blodic brim | byrniað æt æfentide;
muntas lic beacen | byrniað æt æfene;
readfah se deaw fylde | on Rammase Echore.
meaning
Grey now as tears, gleaming silver,
red then it rolled, roaring water:
foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset;
as beacons mountains burned at evening;
red fell the dew in Rammas Echor

Yea, I used to play chess a lot, but i haven't played it for ages now... I still love it.
D'you like chess?
