just lmao if youre not chessmaxing.

anyway, seems reasonable srs. are any of these grandmasters fat? most of them are pretty in ok shape from what i remember. outside of older aged brahs. + it's not like they're gonna be losing that everyday. tournament pressure, long hours, higher concentration, stimmies as others have said.
fictional account.
closer to the lung.

I believe it. They probably have higher gamma/theta wave activity in the brain which is known to increase heat output, meaning it's burning calories at an accelerated rate

It's also proven the brain is the organ that consumes the most energy relative to its size

By playing a lot. Pick an opening you like and remember what worked and what didn’t. Work your way up the ladder and once you become a GM, you too can burn 6K cals/day.
We’re all gonna make it.

I don't buy it son. So you're telling me they're eating as much as a 250lb bodybuilder. Yeah, nah...

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

^This. Humans are comparatively small/weak compared to other animals because of how much energy is needed for our brains.

6k seems high but still lol @ retards disagreeing with Stanford scientists about it, you guys are probably better informed on the subject than him yeah.

Yeah it is legit. There are several instances where people lose tons of weight at these multi day tournaments. I have done several 2-3 day marathons and yeah you are destroyed by the end.

The human brain accounts for something like 25% of the total "energy" used in the human body as a BASELINE (it's an absolutely massive proportion given its size in proportion to the rest of the body - it's literally what makes humans smart). This isn't out of the realm of possibility as a Grandmaster match lasts hours and the amount of calculations they are performing over the course of that period is beyond anything anyone here is ever going to reach. 6,000 calories a day is extreme and that's likely an outlier, but it's going to be a extremely high amount in a match that burns for a long time. Some of you seem to fail to understand that the brain is an organ just like the muscles are - it burns calories, and in fact, its considerably more of an "energy hog" than muscles or the cardiovascular system is.

This has actually been OBSERVED in real life. Kasparov and Karpov once played a 50+ game match that lasted over several months - they had to call it IIRC because both guys were deteriorating physically, and Karpov supposedly lost 22 pounds (and he was pretty frail to begin with).

Best workout to get shredded on a summer cut

Pawn - 2 sets at 50% 1rm (warmup)
Rook - 3 sets to failure
Knight - 5x5 superset with Bishop
Queen - Hold for 45sec, move diagonally, hold for another 45 sec
Finish off with a 10 minute yahtzee cooldown

No man, you are wrong. Dont you know that Grandmasters, since they train and practice every day, consume 8k calories a day, twice the calories of a bodybuilder on a bulking cycle while also on roids?

Uhm, the entire "point" was that this was a measurement of TOURNAMENT days. Nobody said anything about them burning 6,000 calories a day year round, nor that they eat that many calories. Most players lose weight over the course of a tournament so they aren't eating to "maintenance".

What part of this is unfathomable? One tournament game can last up to 6 hours or more. That is 6+ hours of constant intense mental calculation and stress which results in elevated blood pressure, oxygen intake, etc., etc. Their stress markers shoot through the roof which increases caloric utilization significantly.

"It all combines to produce an average weight loss of 2 pounds a day, or about 10-12 pounds over the course of a 10-day tournament in which each grandmaster might play five or six times. The effect can be off-putting to the players themselves, even if it's expected. Caruana, whose base weight is 135 pounds, drops to 120 to 125 pounds. "Sometimes I've weighed myself after tournaments and I've seen the scale drop below 120," he says, "and that's when I get mildly scared."

Ok bro, chess players burn 6k calories during a tournament. You are right .

Anyone who doubts this, take your resting heart rate then go play a rapid game of chess on chess.com and try to win. Guarantee thar for most of you your heart rate will jump 20-30 BMP while sitting there.
