Because then those days would include lots of actual exercise...Chess routine?

yeah I have a hard time believing this. people that play video games would burn just as many, if not more calories by this measure. heart rate != calories burned.

Anyone know how long gm classical matches actually last?
From what i know the time control is 90min/30min with a 30 sec increment. I dont think most of these games go past 80 moves so i dont see how they can go 6+ hours like people itt are claiming.
When i played in tourneys in high school and uni we have 60 mins on the clock no increments. I dont remember the games being anymore mentally/physically gruelling than taking an exam (in fact id say much less so).

Not just tournament days. And they're playing against the highest of the high competition even outside of tournaments. If they truly were burning 6k calories a day during tournaments, it wouldn't be much different outside of tournaments. And theres no way they're eating that much to not whither away and die.
Either way, im not buying this claim at all. In a 60 move game, these guys maybe have to really think hard about 10-15 moves AT MOST.

Average game these days is an hour per game each player, sometimes slightly longer, and sometimes slightly shorter, depends on the tournament.
back in the day it was MUCH longer, but today that’s too boring and too expensive, so time controls are getting shorter and shorter.

You burn like 500 an hour running.
12 hours of running would be about 6000 calories

Robert Sapolsky is one of the greatest intellectual minds of our time.
I watched his full lecture series online for Free. This kind of information is invaluable/gold. Can’t get enough of his vids.

Bobby Fischer is my favorite chess player. He did it all by him fukking self. No team of Chess coaches like the Soviets had. Just him.....alone in a room practicing against himself, reading books, and working out.
