Messed up priorities, lol.
If you're smoking, you're losing - If you're not smoking, you're winning...
The vitamins in a grilled mouse burger 🍔 always seem to give me an edge over my opponents ! 🙀
I believe cigarettes can give you an edge without doubt, although a small one:
“Preclinical models and human studies have demonstrated that nicotine has cognitive-enhancing effects, including improvement of fine motor functions, attention, working memory, and episodic memory.”

I don’t smoke and I don’t encourage smoking but the effects of nicotine are proven to enhance cognitive function short term

This. The study might be correct, but imho, it's a bad trade - shorten your life to win a few more chess games...
using your opponent's rook as an ashtray is way more compelling than any kind of trash talk....
I think we’re talking about online chess, so that wouldn’t work ! ✌️😎
Indeed he was ! ✌️😎
…can you imagine the soviets prescribing Tal adderall?
We’d still be studying his games like “wtf?”….

I know a IM who had his own mobile booze trolley, next to him whilst playing ! ✌️😎
I know for a fact that nicotine before a game of chess can increase your odds dramatically.
It has been proven leading neurological scientists anywhere between 4% up to a mind blowing 38%. Not bad if you ask me. : )))
Is winning a game of chess, more important than saving your body from untold damage from smoking !? 🤷♂️
R I P ! 🙀
Chess isn’t worth a smoking habit it’s a pretty damning thing to do by now we all know it
Expensive, kills you, smelly, you are pretty much ostracized for it and have to leave any indoor gathering to do it….
I would imagine nicotine gum would provide all the mental alertness with almost none of the “death” stuff ….although it’s still nicotine and nicotine is, by definition, a poison

@George1st.... it is a couple less that you can be a champion with actual skill.
For me personally, my rate of winning in say a 10 min game improves if I am smoking. When I don't smoke I usually can't win at all. : (
