Participate in a chess study on mental preparation!

The New York University is seeking chess players for a study on mental preparation. If you are of age and have an active Elo score, you can complete the 45 min online survey for a chance to win a year-long diamond membership!

The study is designed to learn more about how chess players can mentally prepare for their games. It is a non-commercial study and the results will be used for scientific purposes only. 

Take the survey

done

eh i mean considering how many people will do it the chances will be low anyways so might as well try your best

Man I use a table so It is not working.

Must be done in a computer using Chrome, Edge or Firefox.

oh

Online survey?

I would do it but on a IPad and doesn’t work on safari.

I did the challenge and managed to play 3 games in the 20 minutes that were proposed, but I was beaten in all 3. Up to a certain point you can play on par with the engine, but it only takes one mistake for the advantages obtained to be increasingly exploited. However, after the engine gains a significant advantage, it seems to get a bit lost, not knowing how to finish the game, it keeps stalling and with time it manages to find the moves to finish it off.

Time per move has been tried back in the XIX° century (and perhaps even earlier) in order to counter players who would abuse "thinking" when in difficult or even losing positions within prized matches.

It got abandonned soon, for the reason this doesn't work out at all with chess, where some moves can be played instantaneously when others require deep thinking.

Chess clocks were finally invented, solving once and for all the issue, by allocating an amount of time to each player, to be spent at will along the moves.

One of the first chess clocks:

Hence, it is absurd to take a survey based on a time per move chess test.

Fix your thingie if you want to be any credible.

Done
