In chess?!?
Not that type of excitement.
I think he means either "don't count your chicks before they're hatched" or keep a pokerface and don't give away a good move, or both.
You have what you think is a good plan, but your opponent's plan is better. Your plan should be to stop his plan from working.
sunshiny - that is an excellent point. I had that actually happen to me way back when I was much weaker at chess. My opponent was obviously much stronger than me but he made a huge blunder. We were playing with time clocks and, unfortunately for me, my eyes must have lit up and I start to reach for the piece that was going to blow him away, but before I could, he saw it, took the piece back and , of course, won the game.....I'll always remember that incident.....especially since you mentioned it.Thanks
Instead of promoting to queen like newbs do, promote to dragon. This works well if they don't have any knights left to defend with.

There is no any dragon piece in chess. But u can promote to king.
You can't promote to kings. Dragons is by the way much more nice (A dragon is the bishop on g7 in the dragon sicilian, or the h7-g6-f7-e7-d6 structure.
Best advice you ask? "Give up". JK DON'T DO IT. Stick to opening principles
