I'm making a picture story to show how Haig tactics work just as well in chess as they do in real wars. I just started this account so it begins at a rating of 1500.
My first game is with a high rated player who may have joined my game offer to score an easy win against a newbie. His strategy during the whole game was to force as many piece trades as he could possibly going for a timewin after the board was cleared but he came up a queen short in the end. I promoted a second queen for an easy as pie mate in the corner.

The next challenger was lower rated and was dispatched with a midgame mate after suffering huge losses in material. Notice how he hasn't even moved his rook, knight and bishop in the top left of the board. A lot of players try to get too aggressive in the opening and are disciplined accordingly.

Apparently even the might Hannibal rated at 1755 couldn't handle the pressure and he quit out of the game suddenly instead of resigning when he was down 6 pawns and a rook. I went on a pawn gobble in midgame and on my last move his rook was lost in a pin which triggered Hannibal's catastrophic morale failure. He pulled his modem plug to disconnect from the internet so unfortunately I was unable to get his points
