Oh, you mean like sounds of slavery?


This is really uncalled for. Slavery existed long before Christians had anything to do with it, it existed before Christianity even existed. Slavery still exists today and I dont believe Christians are involved in it ...... so, who is ?  


That's a great line, Reb And I'm sure somebody called for my post...I'm thinking of the little people


It may be just a line to you but its also true. Someone called for your post ?!  Maybe so, but they didnt call me, why would they ?

You do realize that gods are to be worshipped in religions. Some Being existing in people's fantasies should be worshipped?! Hilarious!Laughing

Yeah, I usually listen to music while playing... sort of helps me concentrate(I know it may sound a bit contradicting but thats how it is for meWink)

I only listen while playing blitz or bullet.  Even a game as long as G/15  I prefer silence to music because I can concentrate better.  Now that I think of it, I would probably play blitz better with no music haha.  But I like to play blitz to relax and have fun, not to be really serious about my moves.

Come to think of it, it's more the case that I play chess while doing other things, or at least while I should be doing other things (practicing languages, exercising, washing dishes etc)

Ok sorry for necroing this topic but I had to put this out there.

If the music you are playing during chess doesn't distract you, you are listening to crappy music.

No, I don't listen to music while playing chess, I prefer peace and quiet while playing chess. I listen to music while walkng, or when I am listening to mucic, i.e. I prefer to focus on the music.
