In this talk he mentions that chess masters can burn 6000 calories a day playing in tournaments! " ...[with] chess masters in the middle of a tournament, they are going through six to seven thousand calories a day thinking. [They are] turning on a massive physiological stress response simply with thought and doing the same thing with their bodies as if they were some baboon that’s just ripped open the stomach of their worst rival — it’s all with thought.” Serious, competitive SC2 certainly burns calories. How much, I have no idea. | ||

How much, I have no idea. I can't believe that you just made this thread interesting. But I guess SC2 could be comparable. If not mentally, then the physical aspect must make up for some of the loss. | ||

Although at the highest pro levels I'm sure the mental energy they put into this game can also become quite physically exhausting as well. | ||

And you won't have any significant calories burned, you're not exercising your muscles not nearly as much, and mental activity is light on them calories. | ||

Does 5 hours of pure laddering burn more then like 200kcal? It doesnt sound too unrealistic to me... | ||

Have you never had a close game that kept you shaking on the edge of your seat? Sweating is a natural stress response. You don't have to be physically exherting yourself to sweat. | ||
