Your posture when playing online chess

#1
1. Sitting on an office chair, playing on the device in front of you.

2. On the side of your bed, sitting, and playing on your IPad or cell phone.

3. Half-lying on your bed, “hugging” your device and playing.

4. Fully lying flat on your bed, with your device beside you. You get up a little and play a move when your opponent plays a move. When your opponent is thinking, you are lying flat.

5. Standing, wander a bit around no matter if it’s your turn to move or not.

Personally, I love posture No.3, but if I lose quite some points and want to win it back, I’ll switch to No.1.

4. Also watching movies or YouTube.

3. but I'm on a sofa and I take my charger and an extension cord so as not to lose my battery, as the extension cord is quite long and I don't want to get into knots, I put it around my shoulders. I hold my phone with both hands and play only with the thumbs of both hands, I have developed my own technique for playing quickly, I flick the screen as gently as possible and play with the thumbs (usually left then right)
