Music is a distraction for me. I don't like listening to anything when playing chess 😅😀

please don't listen to music in chess, I was doing a 30 min match while listening to music and I did a blunder, got my queen and rook taken away.

@OldSpooky, u sound EXACTLY like my husband! I like to listen to rock, rap, R & B, country, and Irish folk( all Contemporary Christian music).

I like k-pop for light entertainment (momoland mainly) billy ze kick, and we play this in the club chat channel on irc when one of us wins a daily :-

Hey Blueemu, try this version. It shows how perfect Grace Slick's voice was.
That’s music!

In my opinion, music with lyrics is just distracting. It kinda makes you wanna sing along, tap the beat, and stuff like that--especially when the song is good. So, like I said earlier, I prefer to listen to classical/piano music.
accidently blundered my queen while clicking to the beat of a song
I don't understand how people can play chess games while listening to music with words... I mean like it or not, you do not play chess as well if you're listening to songs that have vocals and lyrics. You might wanna convince yourself that you do, but you certainly don't. Music without vocals or lyrics is best, and classical music is especially best
