"modafinil improved performances by 15 percent, methylphenidate by 13 percent, and caffeine by about 9 percent."
"dr lieb said the researchers went into the study with expectation that stimulant would not show much benefit. 'we primarily thought that it is not possible to enhance high cognitive tasks and were astonished to find such results.'"

"dr lieb cautioned while the drugs seemed to boost performance, taking them was not a good idea :confused:. "their use may cause severe o_O side effects and dependency :rolleyes:, especially with repeated use' he said."


"dr lieb was clear on one effect the research should have. he said 'we recommend to rigorous doping controls in chess."

@Millard Baker, can you bring back my exploding head emoji :).

So my brother and I are learning how to play chess blindfolded. It's pretty challenging connecting everything together especially when a lot of pieces are in play.
We played for like 4+ hours today blindfolded, it's a lot of fun.
 
I like to play chess. I'm on test and mast right now, so I guarantee I can move that bishop faster than anyone you've ever seen before.

My en passant causes a vortex like shield of protection around my king. It sucks all opposing pieces within a 2 square radius into the nether realm.
