I wonder how many games you'll play?

IIRC in my 9 hours I played a little over 100. Something like 115.

Hmmmm. Lets see:

24 X 60 = 1440 total minutes

30 X 3 = 90 break minutes

1440 - 90 = 1350 playing time

each game is 3 minutes a side so 3 X 2 = 6 minutes per game

1350 / 6 = 225 games

 

So more than 225 games. Lets say I lose every single game:

225 X 8 = 1800

1580 -1800 = - rating

 

Lets hope that does not happen lol.

If I win every game:

225 X 6= 1350 rating points

1350 + 1590 = 2940

As for watching stuff, I meant maybe a series you've already seen. Something you wouldn't really pay attention to, but now and then you could look over and know what's going on and remember that episode and it's like a quick break.

I do not know, perhaps. I don't really have a second device (My laptop is out for repair because of a fried mother board and my servers do not have sound)and using the TV would be a waste.

Raw sugar will spike insulin levels as your body tries to remove it, but since the body overreacts you end up with an energy crash not a boost.

Eat something like a tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread and fruit.

Whole wheat is digested slower than white bread so no sugar spike, and low fat protein for the same reasons. Fruit has sugar that wont make you tired.

Carbs break down into simple sugars and spike your blood sugar.  Wheat...fruit...raw sugar...all have the same impact.

I was just joking. I learned that the hard way in my first OTB tournament. The round started 2 minutes after I finished lunch. I think I lost in 20 moves to a 700.

Yeah, but it's like a slow release system because you have to digest it. If you just do a spoonful of sugar that's not going to help. Plus IIRC the sugars are different, but whatever, I don't quite remember the details.

Plus, the way I look at it, you're going to be tired, there's no avoiding it. You just have to do what you can for you body by giving it the nutrients it needs.

Yes, I shall prepare a good "breakfast" lunch and dinner.

TV would be a waste? grin.png

There was a time where my routine was I'd come home from work, turn on the TV (which was located directly behind me) and listen to it while I played chess heh.

I played through a 24 hour tournament once, but I took plenty of breaks. Spending some time every now and then to go on a walk outside helps.

I think I played for an hour once.  Maybe not though.  Could have just been 57 minutes.  I'm getting old so my memory isn't what it was.

Avatar of stiggling

Yeah, the burden isn't really on your body. The body doesn't need sleep, the brain does.

So I can only imagine doing things like a 30 minute walk or some light exercise would help.

Doing anything for 24 hours straight is pointlessly bad for your health.

If you live inside a glass case, protected from everything, you might live to be 100, but is that really life?

I mean, he's not shooting up hard drugs or gambling his family's mortgage on a card game. He's just going to play chess lol.

I may walk during my 30 minute breaks. It should relieve my brain.

The publicity tho. 

Think of the publicity. Not the lost rating points.

lol this gonna be intense

Avatar of stiggling

I knew this lady who mixed ~20 ounces of coffee (with extra espresso shots) with a pint

YES A PINT

of heavy whipping cream mixed in.

The whole thing was close to 2500 calories IIRC.

And was over 5x the daily recommend value for saturated fat.

And this was just 1 drink. I don't know what else she ate during the day.

Now there's someone I doubt will live to be 100...
