it's a model game of lasker's defensive method of "I do nothing and leave It to you to prove that you have an advantage".
It worked, he got impatient and sac'd and lost. gg ez

I’m not even kidding about the lasker defensive method... it’s hard to explain without experiencing it. You have an overwhelming advantage. You can play almost any move and still be better, but you just can’t break through. I haven’t seen anyone below 2200 defend well like that. Sitting still and defending without seeking counterplay, which may weaken your position, is not a skill that most club players have. Examples: Karpov, Botvinnik, Lasker, Steinitz
Do you think it's possible to get to 1800 by not blundering anything?

Simple things, like learning how to convert rook endgames. Ok, my bad, it’s not simple, but learning rook endgames would help a lot. It is also best if you learn the most common plans arising from your middlegame positions. That’s the main reason I dropped e4- I can’t find a common middlegame plan.
oh, okay thx

bxf7+ + ng5+ + qh5 = 1 - 0 in e4

I’m talking about when you play people that aren’t garbage

So is the concept here for white to just play extremely passive with no advantage and attacking and wait for black to try to make something happen and end up just ruining their position and blundering?
if so I kind of want to try that
On the basis that if you do not have an advantage you shouldn’t be attacking, seeking counterplay could simply make your opponents task easier as it loosens your position. So the method is simply to try to keep all points of your position equally strong if possible, and simply ask your opponent what they wish to do. This also has the added bonus of making your opponent burn time in blitz 😏
After a suspicious bunch of opening play (Which is to be expected from me), a middlegame has arrived where white's plans are clear and black's is not. Then black takes on a weakness for no reason, but is not terrible. White slowly puts pressure on black, who eventually cracks to a forcing line that wins material.
