We exploit this as a unique setting to assess the impact of moving offline tasks online on the cognitive performance of individuals. We use the Artificial Intelligence embodied in a powerful chess engine to assess the quality of chess moves and associated errors. Using within-player comparisons\, we find a statistically and economically significant decrease in performance when competing online compared to competing offline. Our results suggest that teleworking might have adverse effects on workers performing cognitive tasks. \nDate: Thursday\, February 25 \nTime: 16:00 Vilnius\, Riga\, Tallinn \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://sseriga-edu.zoom.us/j/82523759398?pwd=R0UrU1JNZ3VKcmdIZmZZMTAyWUhTZz09 \nMeeting ID: 825 2375 9398\nPasscode: 063832 \n
