I always see chess players with a bottle of water beside them while playing in a chess tournament.
I found out that there's a scientific reason for that.
Read this:
"Water makes up 83% of the blood and acts as a transport system, delivering nutrients to the brain and eliminating toxins.
Your brain needs to be fully hydrated so that the circuitry works well and it functions at optimum levels. Water is essential for concentration and mental alertness.
Studies have shown that most people are permanently partially dehydrated. This means that their brain is working considerably below its capacity and potential.
A study by Trevor Brocklebank at Leeds University in the UK discovered that schoolchildren with the best results in class were those who drank up to eight glasses of water a day."

Makes sense, if you see the movie What the Bleep Do We Know? it tells another story of water and our bodies on a quatum physics level.
common sense... the body is made up of more than 75% OF WATER. If dehyd ka, of course one wont function as well as expected....
