How to stop sweating during chess?

Sort:

How do I stop sweating during chess? My chess sweats smell different and seem to develop into non-stop dripping beads of sweat out of nowhere. I'm not overweight, but have high blood pressure. I assume it's related to elevated heart rate, perhaps my question is how do I stop getting overexcited during chess games? Should I try unrated games with long time controls to take the edge off? Do master level players still sweat during chess?

I don't work out. Showering first is in vain if I'm just going to sweat all over again. Thanks none the less.

use deoderant on your entire body, play without a shirt and remove your widows

take off your clothes

Hmm....

Of all the advice, prolly removing your clothes as a tactic is the most odd.
