Chess experiment: How much does three pints of beer impact your chess ability?

Wine comes in screw tops nowadays...hadn't you noticed?

hahahahaha

Who recorks their wine bottles? Just finish it off....

Sorry, mine must be a different vintage than yours.    You've probably got some spare corks on your hat anyway.  

Not the good stuff.

Yes, the good stuff. The point is to avoid having wine get "corked"

I can't really sit in a chair after 6 pints, much less push around some silly wooden thingamajigs.

Yes, I do know that a lot of wine now has screw tops, but not all of it does. 

So will there be an experment drinking 3 pints and then a game of chess?

I have a question about the original post: Do I drink the beer, or my opponent, because a drunk can be very distracting when trying to focus on a game.

Indeed, dear colleagues, my plan is to perform Game 3 of this epic beer chess experiment tomorrow (Saturday June 15th) and then post the game on this thread and to update the start of the thread too (on which Game 1 and Game 2 are already listed):

On a personal note, I hope that I will feel the same unexpected euphoric rush (which I poetically like to refer to as "Siduri's kiss") that I felt last Saturday, following a 6 mile run, which of course included rapid consumption of three pints of beer an essentially empty stomach and a game of 30/0 live chess here on Chess.com.  This experience was an unexpected but highly welcome, although somewhat distracting, surprise side-benefit of our ongoing research program. See related chess.com thread for more details...

However, let me assure you, my esteemed colleagues, that even if such a powerful physiological response is not forthcoming tomorrow, rest assured that, while I will undoubtedly be disappointed, I remain committed to our great beer chess experiment regardless.  The road may be long, and the sacrifice great, but together we shall prevail!

I'll drink to that!

Let's not mince words here -- you'll drink to anything, won't you?

(I know I will)

Yes I usually do, me need me liquids!

I'd suggest setting up a proper "double-blinded randomized controlled trial" for this experiment. The double-blinded bit referring to a certain level of anebriation.

[Opens eyes and realizes that the day of reckoning is finally here... I would be remiss in my duties to you, my scientific colleagues, if I did not admit that my level of excitement for this upcoming data acquisition is not, at least, an order of magnitude greater, than for either of the previous two experiments... the light of Game 3 walks slowly out of the darkness...]

Have arrived at research venue... waitress had some difficulty understanding why someone would order exactly three pints of Sierra Nevada and not pay one dollar more for an entire pitcher... decided, perhaps wisely, not to try and explain the important principle of trying to maintain consistent experiential conditions.

On which note, I noticed I arrived at research venue significantly faster (around 5 minutes faster) than last week... I am an enthusiastic seeker of the truth... Anyway, once these three crisp tasty beers are consumed I will be looking for another worthy opponent as we continue this epic beer/chess experiment.

Send out a seek... chess.com matches me with an opponent as black at the moment I realize I need to attend to Dr. OnStar's advice... I worry this may be a subconscious excuse to not play as black... perhaps... but it is still good advice... I vow to play as black, upon my return, should my fate be thus written...

The more i drink the better i Play
