Thanks for sharing, I have the same experience with chess, and have never liked it for the same reasons. There's no mediocre version of chess that you can do instinctively, and I don't really like to do tedious and repetitive mental work when playing games.

I just suck at chess, and have given it up, as it's something that's not for me. I can play some decent poker though (not really great, just better than chess).

I think “puzzle storms” on lichess can be considered a way of fiddling with chess instinctively. I found it also helps with not giving pieces for free when playing full games and also seeing the blunders your opponent makes way faster
