I have been losing purposely
Me too, I needed some cash, and I played against an international master apparently. Btw. have you ever experienced losing in a blitz game because of some mysterious acceleration in time and space.
When you figure it all out, I'd like to see what you did. I've thought a lot about the psychology of winning and the flaw of ego. Somebody said to me the other day that the best way to win is to make your opponent feel something- in other words, turn off the rational part of the brain. Another way I think is to make them underestimate you. In online games it's not easy to do, but in person, if you're a skinny girl who looks about sixteen, especially men tend to see you as more vulnerable.
have a look at the threads plooook has started.
you sir are an admirable being.
..but i truly hope you do not rub feces on yourself before each tournament.
I have been losing on purpose to gauge the pychology of the opponent when he thinks he is winning, so far i have a lot of good results
