I sometimes take my mini-radio with me to chessclub, but I mostly listen it after game or while kibitzing other games. But in internet...i seem to play lot of better while listening right type of music.
About rules, I dont know is it acceptable or not, but i guess your opponent might be offended.

Naturally I'd keep the volume down low enough where he/she couldn't hear it... why should they be offended?

Anyone know if there's anything in the USCF rules which specifically prohibits the wearing of headphones during a game? First tourney tomorrow (4 rounds - swiss) and I always play better w/Mozart. 😉
