Who else listens to music while playing chess? I'm not sure if it helps my game or not and if it is actually making me worse while playing. I just like to chill with so music on in the background XD If somebody could tell me if I am getting worse cause of it then lemme know happy.png

I love music even more than chess, but they do not go together for me. So, never.

I do listen to music, however I make sure that it is strictly music without words (mostly classical) my rating has jumped ever since I began playing with music

Yeah sadly I did get rickrolled but I suspected it was a rickroll sad.png

Also I listen to all sorts of music but I do listen to ones with words, I don't know why but it kind of makes me feel less angry when I blunder a piece but yeah

I almost always listen to music while playing online chess. Many grandmasters are the same way which is one reason many chess streamers have music on in the background. Everyone is different though. For example, some people can't focus on the chess if the song has lyrics. Not me, but different people I guess grin.png

Sometimes I'll play chess without music, but I usually like adjusting my music songs to how I feel in the moment situation. Chess is greatly mental and that means that factors like mood or optimism (which music can contribute to) can help you a lot. With that said, music doesn't work for everyone. 

I enjoy music while playing online chess, but it doesn't really seem to impact me negatively if I play without music either. 

Funny because OTB, I never listen to music; too busy calculating and thinking about the game. Maybe it is the sitting at a computer or something? idk. Chess online is fun with music - at least for me it is grin.png
