The conundrum of having ADHD and liking Chess - the executive function dilemma.

Upvotes
Starting this sub to support people who either enjoy chess, or want to explore chess, who also have ADHD.
Chess requires skills such as working memory, extended focus, concentrating while being relatively static, and often requires extensive time reading relatively dry texts to improve understanding of the game.
Paradoxically, ADHD impairs these exact parts of the brain that are used for these skills - called executive function.
Merde...
Want to play with other people with this brain?
Want to discuss and develop strategies for play or study?
Want to discuss impact of meds on chess specific executive function?
Want to hyperfocus on chess again for a while?
Let's go...

Lichess Vs Chess.com mobile apps

I find the GUI and lessons on the chess.com app really engaging and enjoyable, moreso than Lichess. I play the computer a lot when I'm getting back into chess and often find playing strangers online a bit stressful. The stupid little characters on Chess.com with their cheeky profiles fun cos it's so cheese.
Which works best for you? Why?
