So, lets assume you are playing me on some internet site. You make your ridiculous 32 play 13/8. I sit there and say (out loud). "Fucking idiot, I'm going to crush him". Now, at this point, I do NOT change the way I play, I DONT adjust anything cos I am playing an idiot. I just let my superior checker and cube play put you down. The only concession I may make is that I might take a borderline pass armed with the knowledge you are more likely to make a mess of the plays post cube.

Really, its utterly pointless trying to convince your opponents that you are a weaker player than you are. The less obvious plays will do that for you.

I know a player that used to play an opening 53 from the midpoint, even though he knows that its the wrong play, he still does it. However, he is still an exceptionally strong player, and will demonstrate time and again (even after the ridiculous 2 down play).
