If your diet, antibiotics, etc... has allowed unhealthy fungus (yeast) overgrow the healthy organisms in your gut and body, you have a yeast overgrowth. If you get a really bad case, there can be a significant amount of ethanol produced in your body constantly as the yeast metabolizes the carbohydrates ... enough so that you're always slightly inebriated. In extreme cases, unknown very small % of those sporting the condition, people have had it so severely, that without touching an alcoholic beverage, they cannot pass a breathylizer test.
This was on the Dr. Oz show in the USA the other week and I also looked it up online. I read about 20% of people have it right now, which is statistically low so it could be the yeast of your worries.
If you're losing chess games lot, and it isn't from playing psychic players (e.g. the usual cause), you now know what to blame. Before you sink into feeling stupid, or thinking that you're useless at chess, and will never get good, or you decide you should study harder and practice more, start with the obvious stuff - yeast overgrowth.
There is a easy test for yeast overgrowth (I'm not kidding and I haven't tried it yet, but maybe I will soon): Within the first 1/2 hour of waking, before eating or anything spit into a glass of water, and if there's some thread like stuff sinking to the bottom of the glass you have a yeast infection. That was demonstrated on the Dr. Oz show starting within the first minute of the video:
