i have found that artfully utilizing emotions can indeed offer an edge, but it requirs a delicate balance. in my experince, subtly sowing doubt by feigning indifference while reading opponent cues worked better than overt aggression. by allowing a measured bias to color my play, i was able to unsettle challengers without losing my own composure. this approach, though risky, forced opponents into making errors and revealed hidden weaknesses in their game. however, an overreliance on such tactics can backfire if not carefully moderated.
