Does music help you with playing chess? (survey/study)
It is hard to find this topic didn't go viral. Also, to answer the OP's question, there is no definitive answer to whether music helps with playing chess, as it can depend on personal preference and the type of music being listened to. Some people find that listening to music while playing chess can help them to relax and focus better, while others find it distracting or unhelpful.
It does for me and I'm curious about everyone else and if they improve.
