While the baseball leagues have cracked down on PED use, it is still relatively easy to bypass the drug testing. I propose several changes to the regimen of the hardworking athletes in the chess community.
First, I suggest a dosage of Ritalin/Adderall before any chess competition. These will surely help the athletes focus better and perform at a higher level.
Second, I suggest the athletes take some form of estrogen blocker/ anabolic steroid. Some great research from user “RussianHAMMER” has pointed out the fact that estrogen likely makes a player worse. Taking either of these will reduce the estrogen content in the athlete and therefore improve their chess performance.
I know many of you will argue that this is against the spirit of the game. To those, I suggest this: would you rather see Magnus Carlsen normally, or completely ‘roided up and on Adderall? I think we can all agree that PED Carlsen is indisputably better for the game.
If any of you players who are more serious than me choose to try these out, please reach out to me and tell me how it goes for you. I am curious to see how much better you’d get under these ideal conditions.
