The International Olympic Committee (IOC) governed by the core tenets of the Olympic movement, Olympic Charter and the Code of Conduct of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has long pursued doping zero-tolerance policies. In case of proved national governmental policies in support of doping being applied on a systemic basis, athletes of the relevant nation will be barred from participation in Olympic and Paralympic games. Presently the global sport system is in need of studies of the doping tracing criteria and the key doping-related issues in the context of the new-stage fight for “clean” sports after the Russian Olympians and Paralympians were barred from participation in the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics. Since successes in some sport disciplines depend rather on intellectual than purely physical qualities and skills, it is important to analyse the doping forms, methods and technologies in the intellectual (as defined by WADA) sports. However, the sport system is still in need on a comprehensive list of brain performance stimulating medicines. The modern competitive chess sport and its training systems are now dominated by computerised/ online training tools that make the sport highly vulnerable to the modern electronic cheating technologies that imply concealed assistance to a competitor by computerised game software on a real-time basis. 

Keywords: competitive chess sport, doping, cheating, online broadcasts, chess software, technical doping.
