I like both but I forgot how to solve
Is there anyone who likes to play chess and also likes to play Rubik's Cube?

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.

Did anyone here actually solve the Rubik's cube by himself?
No books, no videos.
i solved 2x2 cube
Technically I solved a pyrimix..
Technically I did solve a 3 by 3 on my own (I read the instructions and forgot all of them so I was just mindlessly shuffling lol ) until I solved it I think it took me like an hour or two or smth

I learnt the method from google, so I admit it, I never really did it by myself. It's something that's been done and can't be undone. That's why nowadays whenever I get a new puzzle I always try to solve it myself to my best extent, I'm still working on one.
@BigChessplayer665
If you read the instructions on how to solve it,
you did not solve it on your own.
You don't memorize instructions by doing it once I forgot... Lol like I said I was mindlessly shuffling I didn't actually know the instructions or the patterns for it

How do you know what you remember and don't remember.
Even if you don't remember the steps, it can point you to the right direction.
Not really sometimes yes but in this case no...
I've been having a hard time finding Cubers (which is someone who plays Rubik's Cube), is there anyone who is?
