Has Albert Einstein ever played and get interested in chess?

Albert Einstein played chess as a hobby to relax, enjoying it with friends like world champion Emanuel Lasker, but disliked its competitive intensity, calling it a "waste of time" and "shackling the mind," yet demonstrated good logical skill in his few recorded games, notably one against fellow physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. While not a serious player, he had an estimated rating around 1500 and showed flashes of creativity, though his focus was always on physics.
