body builders know what to eat to help them getting bigger muscles and they debate heavily what to eat.

As a chess player having bigger muscles doesn't help you and I haven't seen any debate on what to eat. therefore I ask:

what food or drink should a chess player eat or drink to maintain the brain.

I guess juice and fish but what other food helps the brain to work as it should.

fish is said to be brain-food but I don't like to eat fish that much.

I would try biscuits with sesame seeds for the brain...

found this a site by BBC.

10 foods to boost your brainpower.

quote from site:

"Walk into a room and forget why you're there? Forget already what this article's about? Make sure you're eating a diet rich in a mix of wholegrain foods such as cereals, wheatbran, wheatgerm and wholewheat pasta. One study found that women who increased their folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 intake showed an improvement in recalling information compared to women who were not taking a supplement. "

recalling information is a big part of chess.

maybe but I don't think the brain is that different for men and women.

Do you know how hard it is to resist a gamut of jokes on this? DO YOU KNOW!?!?! 

 

In any case, go for a peanut butter, jelly, banana and bacon sandwich.
