What do you listen to while you play chess ?

post your music style(s),

Well I post it without finishing. Post your music style, why this and give us the song listen to the most.

Beethoven Moonlight Sonata.

I listen to myself speaking words of encouragement when I play well and shouting violently when I screw up. :P

When online, basically kids shouting.

I listen to old German bands on YouTube such as Frumpy and Tyburn Tall. Then look at the songs on the right hand side of the page and find other obscure forgotten bands like Beggars Opera and Birth Control

Same here lol.

I listen to the sounds of silence

Shostakovich's Leningrad symphony is always a good one getting me through longer games otb But for online blitz I like modest mouse and the black keys

Classical music, mostly  Beethoven. Moonlight yes, and the other 31 for piano .

The Flight of the Valkyrie by Wagner, at maximum volume.

I use to listen to daft punk and now I really enjoy hear beatie boys flow, I hope they talk enough and enough fast... I wont be able to understand and keeping focus on the chess game. (disco/funk too)

I listen to audiobooks sometimes. With extremely mixed results. I should crank up the Miles Davis or Pink Floyd or some EDM spotify playlist instead -- something engaging but with no words.

I know the Ride of the Walkyries...Brunhilde and her pals ride horses.

Rolling Stones

The cries of my opponent.

I listen to my inner voice.

It is usually laughing.
