When I play much stronger rated players than myself, I tend to do two things;
1) Try to get away from main lines quickly, knowing their opening theory is most likely much better than mine 2) I try to bog them down in horse manure. kneedeep, dirty, smelly manure.
I envision the chessboard to be a dark, wet, damp field. A terrible place of death. Trench warfare like that of WWI. I want to create confusion and frustration.
I prefer closed games, leaving little room for movement.
I value my cavalry over my clergy.
Will Skybird win? and at what cost? War is ugly, but necessary.
