For me, what can affect my playing, is the mood, if I am playing in bad mood I can't play well!

So, Caffeine , I guess can make my mood good, so I can play better :)

Caffeine makes me creative but my logic goes down the tubes. I see all the moves ahead yet can't pick the right one.

I play sharper and i am more focused.

Good Question. Red Bull makes me play better especially if I'm taking it after a gap.

I usually have coffee before I play in tournaments since most of the tournaments I attend start in the morning, and caffeine's never had a negative effect on me at all - so I'm going to say it helps. It wakes me up and helps me focus. grin.png

An amount of caffeine that doesn't make you hyper is helpful.
