Does anyone else get serious Tetris effect with chess?

Tetris effect, for those who dont know, is an effect that shows up with people who play a game or perform certain actions so much that they start seeing related patterns and objects even when not doing that thing/playing that game.

I've only started chess very recently (quite proud of my climb though) but now i see chess patterns and moves everywhere in my head all the time, as if i have a second brain thats constantly focused on chess. I quite like it but at times it can be a bit distracting.

Even more so, besides just straight up thinking about chess, i also recognise patterns related to chess where there really shouldn't be any. Sitting in a class room where there's 3 rows of tables, each row having 2 next to eachother, im thinking all kinds of patterns related to pawn overtaking and bishop movements etc.

I think its pretty cool, but was wondering if anyone else gets this and if it gets less ''bad'' over time? or would it get worse as i start to learn more and more techniques and strategies?

It will diminish with time.

Yeah, happens with Chess, with Go and with Tetris. I just started playing Chess and I get it. I've played lots of Tetris in my life and it goes away after you get more used to the patterns.

I've also had this same thing happen a few times. I usually jokingly play it off, but sometimes I am left going: "how did I see chess in that?" Checked tile floors or rows of desks is understandable. However, I've done things like pass an empty conference room and "see" a chess board on the table - only to realize it is a center piece or box of donuts. To my brother who thinks I am nuts: that donut box had a checkered pattern on it - cut me some slack!

Algebraic notations appear in my brain many times although Chess Informants are in figurine notation  After a few months, bsck to normal.

Did someone say "bishop movements"? 

If you play modern tetris, it never goes away. You never run out of new patterns and setups and it's all about speed, so modern tetris players are stuck with that forever

for me it never goes away, only if i stop playing for a few days

Go and Tetrisjk

Always had chess as some sort of on-and-off hobby. Recently I dreamt about chess positions. That's when I freaked out.

I'm not quite at the level of playing games out in my mind though. But openings seem to work. Sometimes I can find traps in my brain's games.

During the first week of playing chess, I would picture a spoon as a bishop and a fork or my house keys as a rook.
