facial murder

Avatar of social_climber

Is using certain facial expressions during a match a good way to distract your opponent? I heard that psychology in chess is important. Not just to distract, but at what point during a game should one use it to paralyze your opponent? What types of facial expressions are the best and which ones for what purposes?

It's against the rules to do anything to distract your opponent.

How did this get thrown into off topic? It is about chess.

Is it just me, or does the idea of putting a rating limit on posters to a thread seem both pretentious and ultimately self-defeating?  For instance, a patzer like me sees this thread and finds it slightly ridiculous, nothing to waste time posting to.  Then said patzer sees the little addendum telling him that he can't post because his rating isn't high enough and suddenly, out of the blue, he feels the urge to post.  Funny how that happens...

You really think a pro is going to waste time on this thread? You're lucky the comments you've gotten so far are relatively civilized.  >:[

Instead of spending energy on this, I think you'd be better off focusing on the game itself.

I think the OP needs to challenge the highest rated player on the site and wow us with his chess brilliance.

The OP was here under another name. Childish to say the least.Don't you think, Boring?

So you said for people under a 2100 FIDE rating not to post. How did that work out for you?
