This blog teaches you how to play strong chess.

And I mean this blog of course. Now why would I say that? Think of this. When you play chess against a tough opponent he will try all kinds of tricks to confuse you, to intimidate you etc.

So what mental arsenal must you have? Yes, you must be able to see the real position without flinching.

So I kid you not. If you can read this blog, you can also play strong chess. Treat this as a training ground. Can you tell the lies from the truth? Does intimidation send your mind reeling?

If it does, the same thing will happen on the board, on the table. Good luck.
