They would have a big indication that he knew what he was doing  in the game,
I am sure they wouldnt do a blunder move, maybe push it a little to see, but if
he didnt crack then i am sure they would know he knew what he was doing ,and
after the first loss, ALL others would NOT push on him because they would know
he obviously knows how to play well.>
