Magnus also tends to have a big container of raisins next to him if table space allows.
I would think a pyschological edge would go to the guy eating chocolate covered ants(or bees) and drinking something with a very odd color!
Play Chess with glass of Juice otherwise you lose.

We drink that in Canada, too - but most people I know just call it "vodka and orange"!

Canada has some many twists on US drinks - or the US has many twists
on Canadian drinks. It took me a couple months to find a place to get
a good "Caesar" here near Chicago. A Caesar is an awesome variation
on what is called a "Bloody Mary" in the states.
Bloody Mary is English, excuse me!
The Americans nicked it from us!

Do you know who Mary was?
An English Queen - she burnt lots of people hence the name.
So there.

A brain without sugar is not a brain...or however that goes. Fischer reportedly drank a lot of juice while he played chess.
agreed
I prefer a frosty mug of my own ale. Doesn't do my game much good but sure tastes good.
Karpov and yogurt.
That made me giggle.
Just this morning I tried Yoplait's lemon burst yogurt and my god that is some powerful lemon flavoring, so much so that you tend to ask yourself why, why, why are you eating that. But it does wake you up, that's for sure.
As for juice, if that Magnus guy drinks it, it must be the key to success!
All I know is when I drank a Redbull during an employment exam I bombed that exam way worse than my usual test performance level.
Has anybody ever brought a cappachino machine to a match, gotten ahead on time and made a nice beverage right there next to the table?
