My all-time favorite hobby is basically learning new stuff almost each and every day. But right now, I have been more into chess. Bullet chess in particular. Where players set their clocks at 1 minute and play like machines.

Here is my most recent game in chess.com where you can see some pieces being highlighted as I "pre-move" before my opponent even takes his turn for me to save precious time:

Before, I only play 3-minute blitz games which give players more time, and essentially, enough time to think. With 1-minute games, each player pretty much does their own prepared moves for each "if then" situation on the board. Kinda like running a program in their own heads, hoping the opponent's brain "crashes" first. 😆

So yeah, I allot quite more time to chess recently than ever. Right now, I'm unofficially fluctuating in the 17-hundred and 18-hundred rating in bullet and stuck at around sub-1800 rating for bullet (unofficial as well). Chess kinda improves my memory and, for sure, my logical thinking. But it takes time to translate the logic from a game to real-life situations. But it can possibly be done. 🙂
