I'm a long-time vegan who enjoys playing in chess tournaments. Recently it was brought to my attention that creatine may improve brain function, especially in vegans. Is there truth in this? Could it help me in chess tournaments? And do you think creatine is safe? Thanks.
Could taking creatine improve my performance in chess as a vegan?

Better hope PCL doesn't catch wind of this post. Creatine is on their list of illegal PED's, but I'm sure you already knew.

I thought you were looking for help with a role in Chess the musical. Not really interested in the game itself. Although, the girl in Queens Gambit was really good.

If you google Creatine + attention or memory + vegan or vegetarian you'll get your answers.
(and , one) points to a bunch of RCTs that suggest creatine improves attention & memory among vegans. (The last time I looked at these studies, the standard line was that the test results showed that being a vegan gave you a mild case of ADHD, which went away when you took creatine.)Yes, creatine is safe as long as you don't overdo it.

Inositol maybe and some other supplements
obviouslyCreatine monohydrate, no.
A far better approach would be low inflammation diet physical activity and sufficient sleep and sun and chess with a clock
