It’s normal. Immerse yourself in something new and your mind will work to reorganize itself to handle the new thing better. It doesn’t have to seem useful to be helpful. Just keep doing what you’re doing!

Yeah you are all fine - called "tetris effect" because world class tetris video game players (when the game first came out and video games were just becoming popular) kept seeing tetris blocks everywhere in day-to-day life.
Kind of funny. When I started playing chess, I was super sure I saw a chess board on the table, but it was a laptop, or super sure I saw chess pieces on a board, but it was just the salt and pepper shakers on a checkered tablecloth.
Not just chess too. When I started playing poker, every time I passed a business conference room; the table looked like a poker table to me. Who am I kidding? It still kind of does, where else do you see an oval table that can sit about 9 or 10 people at it?
I stopped seeing chess stuff when it wasn't there after about a few weeks or a month though. Anything longer and you might need help 
Bobby Fischer actually said he kept thinking chess too. A reporter asked him if he could think other things. Fischer said that he could; he said his problem was that his mind kept drifting back to chess. How to play a position or how to improve something he had been playing. In fact, Fischer also said he was fond of bowling (calling it a "fine game") and working out, but that his mind just kept going back to chess.
Youre Probably a Secret Top Champ who sold his soul to the Board lol

Same with me. I thought I was the biggest nerd ever, dreaming about chess constantly.

yes, always the poney and bishop moves
