Is there anyone who likes to play chess and also likes to play Rubik's Cube?

I've been having a hard time finding Cubers (which is someone who plays Rubik's Cube), is there anyone who is?

Yes, but I'm incredibly slow in solving (compared to actual cubers). I average about a minute to a minute and a half for solving.

I mostly just solve for relaxation, though - not really for time.

I can solve using F2L, but I prefer the slower LBL, as I'm lazy and it requires less thinking ...

Yes, solving on my own would be too difficult, and I make no pretense about it. As a child, I could solve one side of the cube - but would run into a wall when trying to get a second side solved. It was good fun trying, but I never quite got there.

Since then, I've learned from the methods of those who have done it before me. Once I saw how it can be solved in a specific order (cross, corners, edges, and so on), the cube began to make much more intuitive sense ...

Took me like an hour to solve the first time I tried to follow the instructions but failed so I free styled it

Instead

Even if you solved t with help you still solved it it's always going to be tricky the first time though it's sometimes more fun to try to do it without any help

In chess you take all the advice you can get you can't just "do " everything yourself some advice may be bad some may be good take the good advice but not blindly you have to think smart about it while ,putting in the hard work

You have to work smart +hard sometimes thats following other people's advice sometimes it is doing it yourself

I still remember me as a kid trying to solve the "second face" after finishing the first lol. I properly learnt it 2 years ago and now I've learnt to solve 10+ puzzles like square-1 and megaminx.
