You have to assume anything not tested for (that helps) is used at the top.

  First, my apology that I am making this off-topic remark. Remark: is it just me, or do other people too hesitate to click a youtube link with no title given? I feel like I at least want to know the title of the linked video, even if it doesn't reveal much about the video. IMO it'd be very nice if people made a habit of Ctrl+c/v'ing the title along with a yt link.

      Thanks, I wasn't going to click and this confirms my "never click a youtube" policy is sound.

        Here's a non-video link: https://knowyourmeme.com/news/a-youtube-prank-channel-just-proved-you-can-in-fact-use-anal-beads-to-cheat-in-chess https://knowyourmeme.com/news/a-youtube-prank-channel-just-p...

        I've read way too much about Hans's alleged butt stuff already. I do not need more of that.

      And if your sense of humor is similar to mine, then you might just find this video by DougDoug riffing on the topic hilarious: Title: "I created the ultimate Chess Ai (it can cheat)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_wOsSda3Us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_wOsSda3Us

    I don't think I've clicked a no-context youtube link in years. Sometimes when it seems like it might be worth clicking, I just throw the hash into a search engine.

There actually are regular drug tests for professional chess. The simple fact is that doing any kind of mindsport intensely over an extended period is very draining.
