Can music help you at chess?

🤔 me no

Awh okay then

Music steals mental energy.

depends on type of chess

its very good not to hear your boss when you play at work and he came in to your office.. the boss will not distract you att all... bonus you will have more time to play from your home

We are different. Some learn better by having someone explaining. Some learn better by reading by yourself. Some do not getting it until they try themselves. Some need to sit at a table, while other prefer a cozy sofa. Some need to by alone, while other prefer a group. Some need a quiet space.

Some need music.

Find your own way.

I find it distracting so I don't

i listen to music while playing, browsing, chatting with ai on spotify, yt music on sonos era 100 on wifi streaming

For me, binaural beats (Spotify has tons of them) help a lot. They keep me focused and calm during longer sessions. The second-best “music” is simply silence. 😉

Sometimes.

No. But I play this when I win...2001 A Space Odyssey Opening in 1080 HD
