Staring ominously at my opponent's king.

I like making that king sweat a little.

I prefer to place the knights using the thumb and index finger on the left hand when black and the right hand when white...this confuses my opponents  greatly

I like to place my knight upside down, and tell my opponent to hold his breath as I try to balance it.

When he passes out, I start his clock.

being a horse whisperer I get the knights to place themselves

Didn't Kasparov make his knights face the left at the start?

Avatar of landwehr

no, he let them decide for themselves

I always have my dark square knight upside down and the white square knight 23 degrees  to the west.

And I do the same to my opponents knights.

I place them facing to the side always, usually to the right.

the class B player should talk to Kramnik, Kasparov, and Karpov and tell them its illegal.

thogh Karpov's king knight has turned his back to the king while Kasprov's king knight is facing the king:P
