But I'm sure I've seen you make other complaining posts against players not "doing the right thing" so knowing it annoys you I'd probably try for stalemate in case you got annoyed and made a mistake - that IS a totally valid part of chess!
Yes, psychology is a valid part of chess. But that strategy wouldn't work with me. It just fires me up and I play my best when impassioned. I am rare to be that way, but it's honestly how I am.
Didn't Reshevsky fall for a stalemate trick against Evans once?
when people start hoping im going to stalemate them in a hoplessly lost position i like to make the game last like 300 to 600 moves. like i just push a pawn every 49th move. no there is no chance im going to accidentally stalemate them
