Do you know of any impact of fasting (in general and also in the context of Islamic tradition) on chess performance? It is known that fasting and other drastic changes in diet can have profound consequences for athletes? Since chess is widely considered and advertised as a kind of sport, it would be interesting to know opinion of chess players and people surrounding them about the topic.

I was on a fasting regime losing about 1 kilogram of weight per week during this time my ratings were down a bit but not really bad
Isn't chess a haram in Islam?
Around this time of year, my Muslim friend fasts from daybreak until nightfall, not even a sip of water. Us Christians stuff our faces with chocolate eggs instead. I know who's God I prefer.
#6 I doubt it, there are tons is Muslim chess players
