What other games do chess masters enjoy to play?
I understand that becoming a professional chess player requires thousands of hours of dedicated practice, often focusing on chess and little else. However, just as some Formula 1 drivers might enjoy playing football in their free time, I imagine that chess professionals also have downtime for other games.
Are there any well-known examples of chess professionals who regularly play other games? For instance, does Hikaru Nakamura ever stream non-chess games?
Additionally, from a historical perspective, has there been much overlap between chess players and players of other strategy board games?
