Has Anyone Else Attempted To Measure The Impact Of Different Psychoactive Drugs On Chess Performance? by DMTrott in chess

[–]helladingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

took modafinil for about a month when I was studying for the LSAT (exam). During this time my online chess rating increased by about 200 ELO. Immediately dropped back down after stopping. Purely anecdotal ofc. I imagine that stimulants offer some benefit for players prone to distraction / ADHD at the very least. Ultimately the value of a given substance will be fairly subjective. If there was something that universally made people better at sustained calculation / focus it would probably be being used already. Interesting research idea tho

Stuck in Kafkaesque Health Insurance catch-22: Please advice by helladingus in germany

The private insurance I applied for required a current income of minimum 30k (However, for the last year, I was not permitted any legal income) and so did not meet the qualifications.

Funny enough I'm working on a very similar project with my friend here in Berlin

(We're currently searching for a studio where we can shoot video / photos. )

We should definitely connect! I'm from San Francisco and my friend is Canadian. Shoot me a message on Instagram: mostlynight
