Hey chess.com community,

What's your favorite song/songs while playing blitz chess on the internet?

Ha ha, mine's right now is 'Good life' by OneRepublic. =)

 

Oh.. this is going be a good life. *takes pawn*.. oh this is going to be a good life *takes queen* good life good life.=) Smile

Any classical, Pretty Donna by Collective Soul always puts me in the mood for chess.

I try to put on the TV and other things distracting nowadays as I plan to start competing again in the next year or so :)

I jam a little Wiz Khalifa or maybe sum Kanye or even JMT, you know sumthing to calm me.

My dad played some classical music when we played, and honestly, it really helps me relax and see the board.  Playing rock, rap, or any other types of music doesn't help me concentrate, as it tends to be more of a distraction.  Pop music tends for me to focus on the lyrics, which is why classical is that much more effective.

Try flight of the bumblebee, and some of the other Russian classics.  It helped my focus, may work for you, may not.

anything by 'The Exploited'

While I do like 50s song and some piano music, I find they made me relax too much and I don't get enough blood in my brain to think

Or a little chamber music never hurt my game either.
