[b]1. Never spend time on your games. 5 seconds a move is more than enough.

All you bright fellows lets hear your suggestions here rather than in the threads about improving.[/b]

Try to get your opponent out of book early by playing 1.A4! and 1.H4 You don't know any theory and so this must be the solution. Of course, you will beat them in the complexities.

protect the QUEEN at all costs

Why not try and deliver checkmate with your king.

Trade queen for knights. Man those horses are GOOD

Keep your eyes on the a pawn at all costs. Attack it will full measure. A pawn dead? Move on to the B pawn

Don't play anyone rated higher than 600

Don't play anyone!

Make the Resign button your best friend. Give yourself a pat on the back every time you use it.

As soon as you win material offer a draw.

Alekhine used to do a similar trick. He would offer a draw in an equal position, knowing that if his opponent turned it down he would feel morally obliged to go for a win.

hows 'bout a person plays an otb game, gets himself into a lost position, then slit his wrists and dies...thus losing the game by timeout and pushing his rating under 1400
