Playing down

Often when playing a competitive match in any sport we cannot control what level of player we face. In some cases we will face an opponent of equal skill. But in others we will have to battle it out against someone who is higher skilled, or lower skilled.

When playing against a lower-skilled opponent it is important to remember that the skill level doesn’t really mean a guaranteed victory. When a level six plays against a level three, it doesn’t mean that the six can relax and coast his way to victory.
