Hello people, i see a lot of people taking about ways of cheating but havent seen no1 yet talkimg about substances. Is it fair use "student drugs” is TT for explample ? . Anfetamines and similar stuff increase concentration and increase your play time hughly. Someone controls this ? Is it allowed ? Alcohol is ok or not for example ? And hard drugs ? Just wondering. Is this a taboo theme ? Thanks in advance

No drug will make you better in chess so they dont control it. I remember only one case in olympiad about 20 years czech GM Hráček was threatend by arbiters for having some caffeine in his blood but nothing else happened. I personally was two or three times in my life yeald by arbiter for drinking beer in playing hall but it is all i remember.

not sure about that boro … wont make me better player but for some people who knows how to control and use it, prob will help me for some time … or not … drugs are one of the serious problems for humans and i dont think this is the place to start that conversation. I was just curious in these “kramnik times” why no1 puts this on the list of 2ways of cheating in chess" wink.png

but if it allowed its allowed, indont make the rules ,p

Anyways , what do you think about it? Do you care if you opponent take sustances or not ? You dont care because you cant right against it or just see it fair ? ,p

Nowadays, doctors prescribe to everybody so many drugs that there is a question, who is actually “clean”.

brain activity excess is considered danger.As example barbiturics was used for calm as medical treatment.A most strong sedatory.Sadly I know about that.In another example,use of sustances in sports change a lot a mind process.I was Bodybuilder Champion...psicologically some sustances give self trust when body lose natural feeling like fatigue or similar , yet when is not the effect that muscular athlete search but secondary effect.In martial art a popular smok calmed many tournaments athletes.Is a horrible topic concern to myself.Winners dont use drugs.Please,dont use drugs.Lot of people ignore all what is back sport world and how many medical support have...I suffered that.Sportist dont have to be a lab rats but bussines do exist
