I do the majority of my play (and poor chess play at that) at work. I have the perfect setup too. Do I get my work done? Sure but not as fast as I could or should ๐Ÿ˜›

I play at work and still get my work done. I play for about 10 min at home. I might not play at full strength but I do not really care.

I move/blunder from work daily...

How about using the new voting feature to get some statistics? Who knows, if a high percentage plays at work, maybe my conscience will leave me alone ๐Ÿ˜‰

I keep it minimized on my desktop all day. Usually check for games waiting every 20-30 minutes throughout the day.

Still get my work done, but have stayed late several times just to play chess. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Weekend traffic is about 50% of a weekday. I think that says it all. ๐Ÿ™‚

I check for moves several times before officially being "on the clock." Then I check once again at lunch, and will also check/play after going "off the clock," sometimes staying for some time to make moves/blunders, LOL.๐Ÿ˜€

I play only at work, it's not very good for my productivity, not at all!

I think one should be balanced...Some days I work real hard, others I play real hard!

i play in lectures sometimes-it just depends if it's intresting or not, and if they're using mastereye or not (some weird program that lets them control my computer absolutely, basically turning my comptuter into a monitor...)

but i don't do it very often...well-a bit...sometimes...

I seem to play mostly at work. However, I also seem to fit it in without really effecting my work. The only problem is when people come into my office, having to keep minimizing the screen to avoid getting caught.. . . like just now!

I only play at work.
I don't actually have any work to do - no job description or contract yet, so I suppose I have to fill in the time by getting massively beaten at chess, by everyone.
Maybe if I actually had some work to do, it would concentrate my mind, and I would play better chess.

Lol, I can assure you that it doesn't help at all ๐Ÿ™‚ I play all day instead of climbing the enormous paper mountain I have the joy of sitting next to and I'm getting worse everyday.

I would advise getting a job as an IT technician. I look after 25 machines, and a growing number of Masters students - who are all doing Design. Oh yeah, and I play chess (badly) and get paid for it.

Unfortunately, the University is a bit "Ghost Town" at the mo.
