 You need to be attuned to chess not just mentally, but physically as well. 85% of GMs, and 98% of Super GMs achieve erections when determining the best candidate move.

so that is the reason that men are better players than women?!

My subconscious collects songs with lyrics about losing and starts replaying them during games.  "I'm Lost", "I Think I Missed Again", "Another One Bites the Dust," "Blinded By the Light"....it has quite a playlist.

2. Find no real job

3. Try to make a living off of chess tournament winnings

4. Profit !

5. Congratulations, you are now a professional chess player

Yes!

Sometimes songs I haven't heard or thought of in years I'll suddenly realize I've been playing a line or two on repeat for 10 minutes. Often little snips that may have to do with the game as you said.

Sometimes they're even slightly modified to help fit:

"All the right moves in all the right places, so yeah, we're going down"
"I like black, I like black, where the party at?"

... hard to think of more when I'm not playing lol.

In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser in the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the Vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love seat
Someone came in sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park
Yo, cut it

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?

Sometimes it is weird. When this happens I consciously switch to something else because it's distracting.

Must've blown a fuse nothing's going on,
Lamer than the Pope climb the walls like King Kong,
Buggin' out like Tori Spelling's eyes,
Deader than the parents on a Party of Five,
Luciano Pavarotti on a treadmill,
Not going nowhere slim chance we will,
Less hip than Bo Jackson bored like wood,
Dick around like Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

How do you become a professional poker player??

Avatar of Ziggy_Zugzwang

Experience has taught me that the best way to become a professional chess player is :

1/ Post your intention to do so on this forum and ask for advice.

2/ Become ultra defensive and aggressive when multiple players say you will never be good enough !
