I hadn't heard that one. I like it!
Although as Jon joked, it may not be the sportiest of sports!
I remember Bobby Fisher getting ready for the Reykjavik games against Boris Spassky. He was photographed horseback riding and in the article I was surprised to learn how much physical training he was doing to prepare for sitting across the board from Boris. I then read accounts of previous opponents who remarked at how Bobby would stare you down and playing against him was physically exhausting and ruined any chance of getting good sleep for the next game.
