Things outside of chess.

An IM can start with a knight down against a B player in 5 minute chess and probably still win.
Or spot the B player time - like his 2 minutes versus the B player's 5.
The B player isn't 'dumb'.
But he's in the IM's office.
That's like ... B player is in the water. Shark's in the water.
The water gets red.
'Dumb' would be the B player betting his boat on the game ...

You've gotta let your mark win some of the games.
And when you win you've got to make it look much closer than it is ...
the mark's got to think: 'hey I almost won that - with just a little more effort ...'
