I get lots of sleep. Get to the tournament early play 1-2 games of blitz then fill out my scoresheet. Shake hands with my opponent and have fun. I try and remind myself to 1. look at the whole board and 2. look for my opponents replies before moving.

I have only played in oen OTB tournament, but glancing over to their kingside every once in a while made my opponents feel a little uneasy.
I had an opponent who did that once...the only problem was that his only play was on the queenside...anyways he DID launch a halfass kingside hope, failed miserably, and lost the game 🙂

i'll post the position where he started drooling at my king if I can find the game in my scorebook and actually feel like doing it.

here it is


basically, white started staring at my king, then the game continued 1. Kh2? Qf7 (missed the stronger g4) 2. g4? and white's haphazard hopes to strike back at the kingside killed him

When Playing little 12 year old GM's, the secret is to stand for the whole game, arms crossed, never moving, and always staring, directly at them.


To make this even more effective, wear a massive Japanese Samurai Suit of armour.


to make this EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE, try to look and sound like "doku" from Ninja Gaiden Black.


when fear turns there pants brown, and they go to the toilet to sort it out, flag them.

I usually get excessively drunk the night before the tournament, then lean forward over the board and breathe on my opponent.

Sit quietly, thoughtfully stroking your (fake) beard, then after a few minutes suddenly lurch forward and move your hand toward a piece like you've just found a mate in two. Then stop, mutter "No, not yet" and sit back. Repeat.
