How to make your opponent nervious in chess?

Can you tell the truth, many chess players beat someone because their opponent is nervious but how to make your opponent nervious?|||The main way to make your Opponent Nervous in Chess is to be in a much better position than them. Otherwise at the Start of a Game just act Confident and Smile whilst acting bored as if your Opponents to easy. Also Countering your Opponents move whilst still putting yourself in a Good Position may make your Opponent Nervous.|||copy their moves.|||just show off that u realy noe every thng bout chess bt do nt do it over otherwise u will get nervous n ya smile wen he is goin to play his turn|||Play your moves slow (if not on a time clock)





Also, play an unexpected (surprise) move without losing your board position and the game.





I think the nervous player moves too quickly or may be a beginner player not familiar with the chess openings and strategy (thinking) of the game.





The game of chess takes time to learn. Practice on a chess board board, consult chess books to help improving your game. Hope this helps.





I am an average chess player (been playing chess for 25 years).|||The psychology is about the same in any competitive endeavor. In football: "If I hit you, it is going to hurt you a lot every time I do." Anyway, If your opponent is so easily intimidated, why bother? Anyone can scare the puppies at Petland, but go harass the loose Rott or Pit in the worst part of town to test your mettle. If you are really any good, your reputation will precede you. If you need such a cowardly edge as making someone nervous, you're picking up fallen fruit (playing level 1 over and over and claiming to be good). Only play people who can beat you at any time. My game is backgammon. I'm the best. I've played in three world championships, but my daily sparring partner (the wife) knows my game and can and does kick my butt on sundry occasions. That's why we still play almost daily.|||Smile a lot. That will be very different from what your opponent expects, and she or he will wonder why you're smiling and if you know something they don't.
