I found something interesting...

[jburrito75]

So I know most of you don't care but I've been gone for a while. That is because I've been focusing on chess, not just to get good at the game, but also for a special purpose. I can finally confirm that after becoming an advanced chess player and returning to cubing after practically giving it up for a few months, it helps with solving! The repetition and patterns in chess over time help you to recognize things faster and easier, which I've found translates to cubing. First off, I feel like my solves are a lot smoother and I am averaging about 1 second faster than usual because I can look ahead better and predict pieces with ease. Now I will say that I had to get used to cubing again and at first I had awful times. But if you can hop over that first hill it gets better. It might just be me, but I say you go ahead and try it! Also if you do try it please tell me how it goes

I’m trying to do something similar where I’m seeing if Minecraft Speedrunning random seeds helps with cubing.

If that’s the case, grinding Fortnite, to be more aware. (like someone is behind you, and you instantly see them and kill them) so maybe i can notice algs easier

Track just started again and I’ve been doing daily practices 3-5 so I’ve had like 20 min to cube every day

And I don’t feel like cubing after I’m done running

I’d play chess more if I had more than one singular friend who played chess (that being Mr 1900 ELO)
