"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
. "their use may cause severe
side effects and dependency
, 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."
