What is the best way to distract your opponent in over the board chess?

It's just not distracting for me... if anything I'd find it comical if my opponent were lifting up their shirt or something silly like that.

If I were 15, then sure, I'd probably forget how to move the pieces lol.

Play every move as if you were possessed, and feign an evil smile in response to his every move.

Imitate Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. You need to request or bring your own chair to do this.

Instead of sex, it's easier to distract by being an asshole. Cough into your hand without closing the first, directing the air into your opponent's face.

Wipe / pick your nose then touch the pieces.

Place pieces off center and hit your opponent's clock really hard as if to damage it.

Say "I adjust" on your opponent's time and shift pieces around.

etc.

Probably just the other side of the coin. Instead of spending money, a female would make money.

Keep a 9 mm in your left hand at all times

Place a large knife on the table before the game beings.

If the position becomes difficult pick it up and grimace at the position as you think of your next move Laughing

Or they found a lot of cancer and she's going to die relatively soon for sure?

Why would you ask her that?

Mostly I don't believe her in the first place. Mentioning it over and over to strangers doesn't seem genuine... just like her topics. She's doing it for effect. In part, I'm interested in her reaction to this kind of question, so I can get a better feel for whether it's real.

But sure, even if she's doing it for effect it might be real. So also in part I don't appreciate the attempt at emotional manipulation. So I offer to continue the conversation in an emotionally cold way.

Eat something with onions in it and sigh a lot. That got me once. I walked right into mate against a dingbat.

There are clubs where men take off their clothes to the delight of the ladies. I once applied for a job in one of those places but they paid me money to keep my clothes on!

Nice observation there.

This is very distracting indeed, and I am sure even other girls likes it.

 

Beautiful, isn't it??

in high school, (I was also on the baseball team!! hehe) the kid I was playing was picking his nose and actually pulling his snot out and sticking it under the table. Disgusting. Very traumatic experience..anyway, I believe I was a bit distracted by that, though not enough to lose.
