It does seem rather tedious.

Do what I did last summer. Play against a super-model, glass of champagne in hand on the balcony of a five-star hotel over-looking Rome in the early evening. I found that that went a surprisingly long way toward alleviating the boredom of playing chess.

The problem is that you are playing the wrong opening.  Try the Corsican Throat Punch opening.  1e4, followed by 2 h4 againsts all defences, then while they consider their next move poke them in the adam's apple with your right thumb.  The next several minutes will be many things, but boring is not among them.


Use the second knuckle on your index finger or a leopard fist. You might hurt your thumb. There's also a technique called the tiger's mouth.

 That technically is the "I have actually studied the martial arts" variation.  Its a bit theory heavy for me, personally.
