  • No, eating or drinking ruins my focus (15%)
  • Yes, I sit down to play chess on my lunch break (5%)
  • I usually have water or a soft drink around (13%)
  • I like to have an "adult beverage" while I play chess (6%)
  • Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. There is no pattern (52%)
  • I like to snack while I play, it helps me keep my mind in the game (10%)

This survey is a bit odd... I think that its better not to publish new survey at all if you cant think of any good question for it... I hope that next one is not gonna be "what do you wear when you play chess?" or "what is the color of your girlfriends eyes when you play chess?" or something like that...

I like to drink Ginseng tea with honey in it while I play on here it helps my game. But not constant.

What happened to coffee.. Is that considered an adult drink????? Or are you just talking about alcoholic drinks.... If I play in the morning, it's coffee... I don't like to eat while playing chess -- or doing anything at the computer. In the evening I might imbibe in an "adult" drink, but then such drinks might turn me into a dolt and cause me to blunder when I move. Premature moves are common with adult drinks!!!!!

Alcohols a drug anyway, so adult drinks must mean tea or coffee.

It is more convenient if you are in the mood to play, whether you like to do something, you like to eat, you like to drink alcohol or what so ever. The most important is, it will not destruct your opponent or else something wrong might happen.

I find bloodtirstiness quite sufficient.  Food is a curse

I never have food/drink near the computer, just to be on the safe side. As to the actual question, I decide what moves to play with a physical board and as such isn't in any way tied to the computer when analysing. I do, however, have a magnetic board beside the computer - it's not very fast at starting up :)

if I play OTB I sometimes have a scotch aged 10 to 12 years but I hardly see the point of this survey has chess.com turned into a place for members of the AA to meet lol this Survey is pointless
