Ok so I'm playing a tournament game in scholastic chess ( I was in like my junior or senior year of high school).

I was still pretty weak at this point only having played for a month or 2. 

I was getting *destroyed* by this little girl.  I mean she must have been like 12 or 13. 

Now, I will never outright cheat a game to save myself from defeat or gain victory, but that doesn't mean I won't resort to using completely within the rules tactics to save myself.

Since I was down so many pieces, this girl was moving very fast.  I kept shaking my head and moving pieces, and she kept eating them.  I was calculating on her move and moving instantly and what must have seemed as random.

Then I saw it.  The light.  I saw a way to escape.  I shook my head, and made some rapid fire moves.  She captured my piece, then another, then my rook.  Then I made one final move of desperation while lowering my head and shaking my head.  I was defeated.  I was depressed.  Or so she thought.

She quickly grabbed my last piece.  "Good game" I said.  "What?" She said.

Stalemate.

I have more stories where I manipulated kids in scholastic tournaments using psychology.

It could be considered cruel, maybe.  But kids need to realize that when they enter into a *rated* competition, they're playing for keeps.  I have no qualms about destroying a young kid over the board.  In club social games, of course I will try to play somewhere near the level of the kid so that they don't get discouraged. 

Btw you guys should watch out for this kid named "Kaushal".  I can't remember his last name but I can look it up.  I gave him one lesson.  He's around 11 or 12 and was beating 1800 players in tournaments and at our club and even beat me in a couple speed games.  He seemed to learn stuff very quickly and had a great memory.  If he keeps playing chess I predict he'll be at least a young IM, but they moved back to India recently.
