Guille · Answer

To manage to force a situation where I can end up with a "mate de la coz." Nothing fills my soul like that.  
On the other hand, I hate it when they make moves that lead to a quicker mate just so you don't give them the mate de la coz.

I love to play black, so I sometimes just copy the first moves my opponent makes mirrored and laugh mockingly to undermine them mentally.

Edit: I also recommend my opponent moves if they're bad.
