Never underestimate your opponent and always play the best game you can, whether they be rated 200 or 2800. Playing your hardest in OTB allows both players to effectively learn no matter how good are bad they may be.
I play differently OTB than I do online. I think it is because of the breaks in concentration.

I play OTB with at this point in time with one person every other week.. We play with no clock and our games usually last over two hours and sometimes over three. We take mini breaks every twenty minutes. We rarely say anything while we are playing, but we discuss it afterwards.

Hey psychedelic motherinlaw, chess requires concentration. It's not a macho, channeled aggresion thing. I dig where you're coming from, though. When is Burning Man this year? Maybe we could split gas money, what do you think?

Sorry, Cp, it was the "rarely say anything while we're playing" part that sounded like "guy" chess. Seriously, I'm having a Really hard time picturing Any two women playing a 2-3 hour chess game while mostly Not talking! No offense Cp ... just gender differences ....

Will I get in trouble if I posit the theory that women are Really Good at Multi-tasking? (Of course, if you compare my rating to yours, ep, you'd have a fairly sound basis for refuting That argument!)
"Women are good at" Men are good at" When will all these stereotypes die a painful death? Individuals are good at different things.

Some people get angry when you give takebacks. I usually just want to play the game and see what happens lol.
I usually give takebacks if I see a forced mate simply to keep the game going sometimes.
I always try and pound lower rated players if given the chance. The faster I win the better.
lol! This cracked me up. "should i take it easy on old timers?" :) First, what is an old timer as in age? 2nd..if i am in that category, which may be the case, Please play your best and beat me to a pulp!! Why? because it only makes our brains work harder and so we ole ppl can think better, during the game and may...Just maybe we will whip ya azzz good. :)

Ideas are sexy too!
I mean come now, you can't tell me you weren't near a cognitive orgasm or two from watching some of the beautiful games played the world over!
Oh, Now I understand you, Cp -- you Pretend to be a Serious Chess Player, but you're really just "a Wild and Crazy Guy!" (tsk, tsk, tsk..)
Wait, that's encouraging -- now I can challenge you and be pretty sure I'll win!
(If it turns out I "take it easy on" you, we can report back on our experience in this forum.
