Would you like to join my chess experiment?

Join my unique chess experiment

Hey there, My name is Clive Allen Lobo, a Clinical Psychology postgraduate from Christ University and a fellow chess player and coach. I'm conducting a special chess experiment to analyze the effects of some factors in chess performance.

I'm looking for participants who are:
Above the age of 18
Rated between 1700-1800 rapid on lichess or chess.com
Have played at least 50 rapid games in the past 3 months

And who have not:
Cheated at chess in any way in the past
Have had a dramatic increase or decrease of 150+- in the past month

The study will involve you playing a series of 6 games after which there will be one-on-one confidential interviews regarding your experience during those games. (via online games and zoom)

Join this one of a kind experiment and let us together discover more about this game we love. There is no cost involved I am only looking for your time.

If you would like to join this experiment, contact me at:
[email protected] or dm me on lichess (Chessrulz232) or chess.com (The_wannabe_gm)

If you know anyone who fits these criteria do refer them to me as well.

"Rated between 1700 to 1800 rapid"

that's a very small rating gap. I would consider expanding that range a bit. I don't qualify, but just suggestions. Good luck on your expirement.

Yes I've considered that but that would affect some other conditions like the player I've arranged from my side for the experiment. There could too large a gap between the two players than this range. The data would vary highly. Thank you for the suggestion. If you know someone who fits the criteria please send it to them. Or to any groups of chess schools or discord chats you may be a part of. I can be flexible to a +50/-50 range.
