What should I eat to get the blood flowing in a different direction?
NEVER have a full stomach before playing chess games.....general rule.
I agree with the observation about not eating a large meal too soon to an OTB match, but NEVER consider online play as worthy of such consideration.

during the game you can have a snickers bar or whatever for the sugar rush, but eating a LOT before a match is NOT a good idea.
Allow me to explain....when your body is digesting the food in your stomach, a lot of your blood flow, which should be headed toward the brain, is instead redirected towards the stomach.
I know it may seem obvious to a lot of people, but people make this mistake all the time, in both OTB chess and live chess.
Cheers, and have a great day!
I'll say this as delicately as I can: A full rectum before an important chess game isn't a good idea either.
