You misunderstand , the Latin alphabet ruins your chess simply because it is the latin alphabet.

Ornateness lowers the power of non-latin alphabets only

The main problem with the latin alphabet is the type of languages it creates which in turn influences how you reason

English: I do say , it is rather warmish today what?

French: Mon dieu...it is...how you say in English...hot as a cow turd today

Hebrew: Hot ( everybody knows today is today why elaborate?) 

chess...

English and French: should I move the rook or the bishop first? What if it fails? I couldn’t stand another loss. Maybe I should have started with the Ruy Lopez. i hate this. Ok, I will try the rook

Jew: eh... queen takes rook, checkmate

I prefer to use Figurine Algebraic Notation on my scoresheets.

Though it does make time trouble even more precarious.

More proof that ornate non-latin alphabets won’t help your chess
