Cheating in chess seems somehow worse than what Armstrong did. There could be a version of cycling where everybody dopes and it becomes a level playing field --- there's still strategy in the rides, they still suffer up the climbs, etc. Doped athletes are still incredible to watch.
But in chess if you're outsourcing decision-making to the algorithm... why even have human players at all?
- Consultant32452 4y agoI'm amazed people still believe there's such a thing as "clean" professional sports. I assume everyone is doping. I agree with your assessment about Armstrong vs outsourcing decision-making. It wouldn't surprise/bother me to find out chess players are taking ritalin or whatever to increase their focus, but using a computer is troublesome. That would be like Armstrong riding an electric bike.
