Sounds like an important experiment. Even though I think it's important to
specify what kind of blend is used for future statistical reference and
comparison. In this forum Java might be better known for starters. Maybe you can
get Max Havelaar to sponsor the event.

BTW, has anyone tried drinking holy water during a chess game? And is it against
the rules to try and receive help from a deity by this method? What does FIDE
say?

Ahh.. all those questions.
