I surrender after 1 move! The opponent never expects it and I take it they have problems getting over the shock!
What psychological trick do you use when playing OTB?
Sort:
I pick my nose and then move the piece I am going to sacrifice.

Tricks are for kids. :)
But when I was a kid I had this trick: If I were in a position where my opponent had a tempting, flashy and incorrect continuation I would offer a draw. My opponent would then look again at the position, see the tempting but incorrect continuation, reject my offer and play it.
A kid, maybe, but a very smart one.

So much for the promise you made here:

This isn't too bad either...

If you do not recognize that women and children who use this site would prefer not to have to read this, that I do not know what to say to you.
You asked for a second chance, but you proved that you made no changes.
...and a very dirty mouth.
... but not "wet dreams"...
Sorry, Miha, I know you are a tolerant man but we've spoiled your thread after only two pages. Now seriously, I'm unable to made any type of tricks. What about you? ;)
No problem, mates. Keep it going, love to read it.
My tricks? When playing schoolmates, I play very quickly if down on material. They run into time trouble and blunder. There was an example I was R against R+3P and managed to draw it.
In a tournament I played in March, I acted like Kasparov (wag of the head, "pfuuu" sounds...) and managed to turn lost position into won, but draw it then. Check my blog about Trohov Memorial, 2nd game, for more information. :)

I played a pretty bad move over-the-board against a player about 100 points higher that me, after which, he literally laughed out loud. I was so pissed that it worked against him. I buckled down and managed the draw.

I'll do!
I had a hat once that had a very long visor, like a foot long. It stuck way out & looked rediculous. It said on the front of the hat "I bet mine's longer than yours". I wore it only for a couple of minutes just as a joke & me & my opponent got a good laugh. I won anyway, I was a few hundred points higher rated anyway.

maybe he wasn't laughing at you. maybe he suddenly remembered something funny something being said in the break.
I was at 25 minutes tournament once and someone told me a joke about chess pieces being able to talk cannot remember the exact joke.
but suddenly the joke was playing as a movie in my mind, and I couldn't help I had to run out laughing from the playing hall.

I read somehwre on here about a player that said he put a book next to the game while he was playing that was titled "How To Cheat At Chess". I thought that was funny.
Chew gum, sometimes loudly. It's quite effective.

not sure if it was an attempt to cheat but an opponent he had a notation book which he recorded all his games in - also the game I played against him at the moment suddenly after move 5. He must have seen this position before because he started to go through his book to find what he played. I stopped him from going through the book.
Don a white glove for the killer move!
