Silence is my soundtrack.
I love music deeply, but when I play chess, even a single note can pull me away.
In the quiet, I can hear the game breathe — and that’s music enough.

When I'm playing 10+0 or longer, I don't play music, you should spend your time focusing and thinking. Blitz and Bullet I pull out the tunes, I just go with what I like listening to, I'm in a Hamilton phase right now. It just gets me in that happy and bouncy mood which helps me to play faster.

I literally listen to, like, a mix of Bollywood and Hollywood artists as well as a bit of phonk:
The Weeknd, Benson Boone, Arijit Singh, Orgezek and many more artists.

It is probably better for my focus to not listen to music, but I do love some pop music, and if I really want to lock in I just pick something without lyrics

I find that certain chess positions remind me of songs. I hear another one bites the dust, when I get a good windmill going, don't stand so close to me, when a smothered mate is developing, or break on through, when I am creating a passed pawn.

I used to that while playing blitz, but only recently discovered it kind of freezes my brain, that's why had to stop that habit because I was losing a lot of games with silly mistakes

Thread dedicated to discussing different music people like to listen to while playing - different genres, artists, whether it be sad, motivating, energetic, and also suggesting good songs that make you play more "focused" or "hyper"!
