- FIDE has adopted WADA anti-doping statutes for chess, raising questions about which substances (modafinil, Adderall, Ritalin, caffeine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, beta blockers, racetams) are banned and whether this discriminates against ADHD users.  
- Participants argued that banning human cognitive enhancers while allowing ever-improving chess engines creates an unfair asymmetry: “the machine gets to upgrade its GPUs every quarter but no human player can take Adderall.”  
- Discussion of BMPEA (β-methylphenethylamine), an unscheduled amphetamine isomer, noted its appearance in unregulated body-building supplements and the tension between “reasonably safe stimulant” claims and concerns over hidden addiction risk.  
- Docl floated the idea of implanted drug-synthesis devices that could precisely titrate controlled substances, potentially treating addiction—or, conversely, creating new forms of behavior-linked chemical dependency via Pavlovian conditioning.  
- A tongue-in-cheek vision of a “wholly unregulated cyber- and genetically-enhanced supersport league” (Super Baseball 2020) was offered as a contrast to the chess doping debate, underscoring broader transhumanist desires for performance-enhancement freedom.
