What is the music that you listen to when you play chess ?

Lol thanks ! If that was a compliment 

Pink Floyd, The Beatles, the Doors, The Kinks, George Winston (assorted), Elton John, etc....

I really enjoy playing chess to music, it so relaxing.

I like (to name them randomly in an assortment) Duke Ellington, Les Brown, Maurice Ravel, Louis Armstrong, Claude Debussy, and almost any jazz that has piano in it.

I used to listen to music, and found out really fast, that i dont concentrate anywhere near enough to be able to listen to music.

Good for you

Bump!

I am bumping this thread for 2 reasons:

1) I saw some other thread, obviously started by a troll, talking about if girls are dumb. And in the first 12 hours, it has nearly caught up with this, much more interesting and benefical, thread. It seems a shame.

2) This song:

I was at a group interview yesterday for a (name of hotel casino here) and among the 15 people in the group, one of the women's name, as she wanted to be called, was sunshine. I never knew that could be someone's name, or alias in a real life setting! And no, December_Twentynine is not my name.

What is youre name ? ( If you dont mind saying )

You were in Vegas, applying for a job, with a girl named Sunshine?

Dare we ask what the job was?

Man, I know they say classical is supposed to 'sooth' you, but that would be way more distracting than this:

Was listening to this with my 6.yo. daughter yesterday. In the middle of it she asked me 'What is backstreet ribbon?'.

I explained to her the phrase was 'Back seat rhythm'. She asked what 'rhythm' meant. I explained it to her.

She thought about it for a few seconds and said 'Oh, she likes to dance in the back seat. Me too.'

One of the reasons I will never have children. Too hard too explain things 

It's so hard to explain things to children .

Well, there are benefits that outweigh things like this.

As soon as my daugher was old enough to walk and carry things, I started sending her to the fridge to get my beer.
