Anybody else see a similarity? When you produce, do you analyze the direction of your tracks? Do you think about your next move, or your past moves when you are not in front the computer? I notice now, more than ever, I am thinking about what I have done, how I can redo, and how I can move forward… And the way I’ve been thinking about my music productions lately, really reminds me about chess…
just a thought…
since I have gone deeper into chess (never studied it, but I play it regularly), many things started to seem related to it: even the bare act of debating with a friend on a topic reminds me of it; even solving problems at work.
I think it is generally related to how chess are an expression of both your rational and emotional sides

chess cube ftw 
Rubiks cube also nice…
I mean the chess cube site …really great for some instant chess …there are some real good players there
you could play Rubik cube with pattern matrix maybe? 
Look at Fischer. He went crazy. This is one of the reasons I have cut down on playing chess. Bluntly put, I believe it can make a person more “paranoid” if not balanced with good social interaction.
I have ordered my first Rubik’s cube now, my goal being to become confident in solving it. A puzzle that you play against yourself might be healthier!
The left horsie is an F# i think.

Ha ha, I’m pleased to say that’s not a self-portait! It’s Austrlian breakcore / mash-up nutcase Toecutter who seems to have a fondness for sex-offender chic…
