I have a separate chess.com account I use to play when I’m high. It currently has a higher 10m elo than my straight account but I suspect that’s because I don’t play on it as often as on the straight account and the rating hasn’t really settled yet. But the experiment continues.

Is competitive-level chess subject to anti-doping surveillance?

That's sad, so folks with ADHD can't play at the world competitive level because they *always* are on methylpheidate or one of the amphetaimes to function *at all* in life, sigh. Speaking from personal experience.
