Q: i have been doing music as seriously as i knew how to for a while and now i am playing chess a lot and i found out that improving in chess is the exact same process as in music. you look at what the best people do and try to memorize what they do and then try to figure out why they did what they did and then once you start to see some patterns and concepts they seem to keep coming back to then you can use those concepts in your own playing. am i on to something here???
A: yes
