FrustratedFool, I'm mental which makes it hard for me to take in complexity.

Your acceptance of your imaginary friends is definitely not complex.

Not even a conceptual imagination? Aphantasia, or something else?

Full time-control games are an athletic endeavor.  Good chess players eat during games, and work out regularly.  I once did 3 regular games in a day of a tournament.  I've never been more mentally tired in my life.

That said, blitz games are different - they are more like an adrenaline rush.
