Don't give an advice that is unrelated to chess.

Yes, exact quote.

Did he say STFU, or is that an acronym for his actual words?

Avatar of Ballofwhacks

Did he really say that? xD

When capturing the enemy piece, slam it with the capturing piece with full force, hopefully striking further enemy pieces out of the board.

Or just throw the piece over the enemy army like you are playing bowling. You are allowed by official rules to do that, really. The GMs choose not to do it just because they have a poor aim.

I've never done it, of course, although it is a clever idea.

When you move, hit the clock so hard that you break the button, this way even when your opponent hit the clock, it will still be his time on countdown.

#1: Prepare your pieces before you attack. And be prepared !!
#2: Look at your own position for the best move. Then look at your opponent's best moves. Then look again at your own position, and then make your move.
