A pretty strong player in my local league regularly turns up in a tired and emotional state for matches. The tactic we employ against him is to keep the game going for as long as possible before initiating the serious confrontation. After two hours play he is generally unable to accurate calculate the complications.
I once beat this chap in a blitz game using the following ancient trap when he was tired and emotional to the tune of a gallon of guinness:

i could not find a picture, either in the Hindustan times, nor the Times of India, nor any of the Pakistani national papers which have reported the incident. 🙁
Originally posted by Habeascorp Thanks for this thread. I had not actually seen that trap before but am now forwarned.
I have had this trap hit me when I was playing bullet chess on the internet. Along with the Bg5 Queen trap it is something to watch out for in those microseconds.

Lol. Most of these are setup (unrated) games. If you play through them, you will find that the winner isn't always the one standing better in the end position, it merely means that I decided that that lesson was over. Some games are just replays of master games with the score known by me only.
