Yes. Do it the way I got to 1800, with a 2000+ player timing out of two games against me while I extend my lost games against weaker players to the limits of the game clock without timing out. This is my strategy for RHP success. I tried making good moves but that's unreliable.

Come to think of it, this is similar to how Bernard Madoff achieved financial success.
