THE HOOK:
How do you win a game of strategy without actually using any strategy at all? Today on Scam School School, we’re heading back to 2009 for Episode 84 to revisit "Napkin Chess"—the ultimate Follow-the-Leader trap.
We’re breaking down the mirroring technique that ensures you own the board 100% of the time, and we're connecting it to the psychological concepts of "forced compliance" used in #wolfmasking. It’s a masterclass in making your opponent feel like they’re in control while you’re actually pulling the strings.
