Back in my college years I played a lot of tournament chess. I remember one tournament in Fargo ND when by the luck of the draw I had the opportunity to play Stepan Popel, noted chessmaster and author. He's been gone for a lot of years. Anyway during our game he had a thermos bottle, out of which every now and then he took a sip. I figured coffee. But nope. Brandy! Didn't seem to impair his playing ability in the least.
The difference between a pro and an amateur. . . but did you beat the chessmaster? I am assuming with your modesty you won. . .
