What should be the right game plan when playing against weaker players? This video answers this question by giving instructive games by the strong grandmasters where they defeat weaker players. They do not force things and let the weak players destroy themselves. We see that the strong player executes patience and gives choices to their weaker opponent. Master relies on better evaluation and chess understanding and wins games by keeping it simple, without giving counterplay to their opponent.
The master does not shy away from simplifications when beating the weaker opponent. On the other hand, going for needless complications and having irrational positions would benefit the weaker player, as the master would not rely so much on their general understanding while handling those irrational positions.
