A Thread For CHESS Players by lokito(op): 8:32am On Nov 17, 2014
Good morning folks. Kindly drop tips on how to play and win any Grandmaster on Chess. Best tactics, best moves etc.
Here's one from me:

1. e4e52. Qh5!Right now the grandmaster is thinking, "What a noob! This will be such an easy win". Little does he know of your ultimate plan... 
2... Nc63. Bc4This is the critical moment. After making this move you must declare that you resign and extend your hand for the post-game handshake, but while you are doing so, with your other hand under the table secretly cross your fingers. The unsuspecting GM will be thinking, "Ha! He knew he was no match for me!" and will reach out to shake your hand. As he reaches out for the handshake you must grab his hand and bring it down to touch his knight on c6 and then declare that the grandmaster must now move his knight since he touched it. When the GM protests saying that you already resigned, you bring up your other hand from under the table showing the GM that you had your fingers crossed all along, which nullifies the resignation. The GM, in complete bewilderment as to how he could be so careless as to fall for such a trap, will be forced to move his knight. 
3... Nd44. Qxf7#You win!
