Future Continuous

Hello.

If we want to talk about two different actions in the future, do we use 2x future continuous tenses?

Here is the example:

While you will be playing your games, I will be watching my favorite TV show.



I've got some doubts about this because I have found sentences which have confused me.

Can you tell me whether they are correct or not?

Here are the sentences:

1) While you will be playing the guitar I will sing. (why not "I'll be singing"?)

*(I think that there is used future simple because it is a promise. Am I right?)

2) I will play the game of chess while listening to the music.

(This sentence has confused me the most. It sounds a bit odd to me. I think this one is incorrect.)

Thanks in advance.

I have just noticed that they are time clauses and that's why I can't use future simple after "while". Now everything is clear to me.

First of all, Could you please tell us who wrote those two sentences?

Additionally, the second example(number 2) is completely correct.
