Quick question for the community:
When you play chess — whether it’s blitz, bullet, or a slow game — how would you describe the feeling it gives you?
For me, it’s like everything else in the world gets quieter for a little while. It’s not just strategy — it’s something meditative.
I’d love to hear from others:
– Is chess more calming or energising for you?
– Do you play to relax, compete, learn, or something else entirely?
– Has your relationship with the game changed over time?
Just looking to connect beyond ratings and openings.
