Just do what Magnus does: create two different accounts, and beat everybody on both of them.

I can't play chess sober, so can't imagine being drunk chess

The health benefits of drinking alcohol. Only a 2 minute report.  Being healthier will help anyone's chess.

bro what happened to the OP, I hope he didn't overdose...

He hasn't logged on in 9 years - I'm afraid we may have lost him permanently.

We *could* speculate...

I am 71 and still alive. I have been drinking wine almost every day in moderation for half a century.

i said liquor (hard alcohol), as a warning to the impressionable youth on here who don't yet understand how dangerous it can be.

I was considering switching to martinis. Moderation is the key. I think no alcohol at all isn’t a good idea. But don’t drink when playing chess.

no alcohol at all is great!   🙂

Imo, no alcohol is best. If you must have alcohol, then moderation is the key.

Alcohol is a toxin. One of the liver's functions is to remove toxins from the body, so if you're partaking in moderation, then the liver won't be overwhelmed with its duties.

I drank as a teenager and young adult, but I've been completely alchohol free for nearly 20 years. I also don't ever drink coffee, or even what the americans would call "soda". I've just never liked the taste.

I think soda can be far worse for you than coffee. The caffeine in coffee is mildly addictive, but that's about the only negative to coffee. On the other hand, a 12-ounce can of regular soda (with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup) is just as damaging to your liver as a 12-ounce can of beer. (I've discussed this in prior posts in this thread.) Your liver can handle a little beer or soda, but too much can definitely cause problems.

Or maybe he just got up from a power nap...

The round started at 3,  he probably woke up at 2:40 & was like  "oh shhh...  to heck with looking for that dang comb, gotta go!"
