This will not work if you cannot do it. I tell people to never give a threat unless you are willing to do it. You will look silly when that person calls your bluff or you will get your as? kicked. Do not be fooled by the size of the person. I once saw a man that looked like he was sixteen years of age that was a U.S. Marine and he had Tai Boxing training.

I'm told I have this habit that often annoys players, before I make an obvious good move, I lift my hand up, almost touch the peice, then move my arm away, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat this about 5 times until I eventually touch the peice and make the good move. This irratates my opponents a lot, and it's perfectly legal, no controversy.

I have one in particular I like to use now and again.....if I set a trap involving a sac or something similar, then I make the move and then act as if I've made a mistake for added effect! Works best if its a nicely hidden trap of course....

Another good one is to put a question mark on my score sheet after an opponents move.....lol.
