deception
Sort:
Of course it is legal - rules say nothing about where you should look. I was deceived couple of times by my opponents looking really disappointed about the position while in fact they had advantage.

I think the idea that this type of thing could be considered deceptive/unfair or should be against the rules should be measured against the question of weather or not is should be ok to try to predict what your opponent is thinking by looking at his eyes or expressions.
If it's ok to try to use those cues to get an 'off the board' sense of your opponent's plans then it should be ok to misdirect their efforts.

It's totally legal, but if you are not playing some 1400 clown, they aren't going to fall for it. Don't just think that because you are staring at the Queenside that some 2000 player or master is going to even remotely blink an eye at what is on the Queenside. They probably already know at that point that you are threatening a Knight sacrifice on h7!
Inception.

A childhood friend of mine has been in jail since he was 17 for doing this.
