Good players like sir tang perceive enough of what is happening on the board to feel in control 99% of the time. Believe it or not, even in ultra adrenaline hurts more than it helps.
Why do some speed chess players seem to not need adrenaline?

Really? I definitely find chugging some caffeine and having an adrenaline rush helps.
I'm watching Andrew Tang and he seems so oddly chilled. How does that work? I CANNOT play hyperbullet or ultrabullet competently while calm. I just forget to move my pieces fast enough, lack aggression etc. I have to go at least a little bit berserk.
How come some people can play it while completely laid back? What 'pathway' are they using instead?
