How do you beat dumb chess players?

The tutorials that I'm mostly seeing are for intermediate chess players. But, I hardly even play with intermediate chess players in real life.

you can beat them by knowing your opening theory ,I assume if they 'dumb' they won't know any theory

Sometimes irony confuses me

The basics beat bad players.

Good board vision, meaning you're aware of when something is directly attacked and you don't often give pieces away for free to one move threats. After their move, you're consciously looking to see which of your pieces have been attacked.

Following the opening principals as best you can to give yourself a better chance of having tactics for you, and less chances for them to have tactics early. Opening principals won't make a lot of sense, and you'll be tempted to break them often, but following them on good faith as often as possible helps.

Knowing the basic tactical motifs like forks and pins. When it's your turn you calculate forcing moves like captures and threats. If it doesn't win material you examine a different move order or add a different forcing move in an effort to discover if there is a way to win something.

Unintentional irony amuses me.

By being less dumb than your opponent.

Define "dumb"

Beginners are often unpredictable and play without a clear plan. This randomness can sometimes frustrate you or lead you into traps. Stay calm and don’t rush—let them make the mistakes and capitalize on them. Eventually, you’ll build a winning position.

If you don't know how to beat a dumb chess player...you are probably dumb yourself...so don't call others dumb

Adding to this advise, expect them to not follow or know any theory or strategy. Know your endgame checkmate patterns. You only a need K+Q, K+R or K+2B vs. their K to checkmate.

Try first priority bishop opening followed by fool mate CAUTION - DO NOT PLAY THIS AGAINST INTERMEDIATE AND ABOVE; YOU WILL GET CRUSHED (Life Experience)

Just practice opening fundamentals and pay some mind every move to what your opponent's plans might be.

#1 become better,400

The guy stopped playing 9 years ago. Hard to get better that way.

The beauty of practical advice is that it stands the test of time. Perhaps someone else will come along into this forum looking for answers, and they'll learn something from those attempting to help.

And then there's you...

Dude, "become better"is not practical advice, it's just trolling.
