I am concluding based on seeing winning players like Ross Bollivant stop playing partway thru an on-line tournament and lose the rest of their games on timeouts, that is is good strategy to play slowly against good players. Are there any other outside-the-game strategies?

some polayer resign position to get less games, hoverer, this is not a good strategy, you could do the same, and not resign a game, but some can,t keep up with 200 games, which is low...(for me.

looks like he left the site. many players here dont care about rating, and just want some more experience in a certain opening and a way to strengthen up for OTB. if things come up in their life they might rather stop playing corr. than OTB if they only have the time to carry on with one.

A good strategy, is to force the draw., once you have know you would have enough points to win, no risk, and you win, you may give them points, but you go to the next round.
Losing 42 like that may worth it.

Send out a challenge, say it's rated, while you know all too well it's unrated. That'll give you a good laugh after the game has finished. 😀
