problem in a sentence

[shinem]

Hello,

I'm having a problem in a sentence.

Thank God, my Czech friend from the dinner table came by and asked me whether I would like to play chess. Luck would have it, I did play.

In this sentence what does 'Luck would have it' mean?

If you can explain the meaning I'll be so glad :)

Thanks!

It is usually heard as "as luck would have it." To happen by chance. Look here. as luck would have it - Idioms - by the Free Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
