beat someone at chess

It’s all about anticipation – if you have a comfortable and confident grasp of even just the basics, then provided your anticipation of your opponent’s plans are accurate, success can be achieved against a player of greater skill should they fail to anticipate equally adequately. This is a long-winded way of stating simply that no matter what level your grasp of the game is at, the more moves you think ahead, the better you will fare, generally speaking – certainly relative to your opponent anyway.

I HAVE FINALLY BEAT HIM!! MUHUHAHAHAAAA AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS!! YES:D He hates it rofl.. he’s like “oh i was so careless:(” its adorable. i almost feel bad snickers .. so yeah, he took this screen shot from his perspective (i was white) and so yeah. lol. i did this!!:)

I beat the county champion. By accident ;)

Lose your 1st 40 games and then … show ‘em you can do it. It’s not just a board game. There are also mental games you can play too. On the board: Look for “pins”, “forks”, “skewers” and best of all “do something worse to the other player” it can destroy his mental game when he’s surprised by your move. And finally don’t ever give up … some cockey smart ass will screw up make a simple mistake and you will win.

PS. Don’t make stupid moves.

Grace beat me. In 6 moves. I didn’t even know that was possible.
