I intend to play the BEST chess player in 2 games and I will beat him in 1 game or draw both. What's my plan?

Play 2 games at once. Black on 1 white on the other. Have him move 1st and you copy the move on the other.

Well, I have good news and bad news.
The good news is, that YOU CAN do this!
The bad news is, that it will take A WHILE. As in years most likely. But still, do not give up! Part of the fun of chess (for me) is practicing and getting better. Look at it like a martial art. You practice, hone your skills, get better and better....soon you will be DEADLY.
Ok, so here is your plan.
Step One: Play on ICC (Internet chess club) and become a member. Right now, ICC is the best place in the world to play chess. You can watch masters and grand masters playing RIGHT NOW. There are training computers and 'bots' to help you always online....and lectures and special demonstrations...etc....if you are a student it is only about $2.00 a month (yes two dollars). If you are serious about chess, you should join.......like the wandering samurai who goes to train in another villiage....you go there to train and come back to kick some yahoo azz.

Step Two: NO MORE BLITZ. Do not play any more blitz games. Play games only of 20 minutes or more. Use all of your time.....You will not improve playing 2-10 minute games as fast as will by playing slower games. Only play blitz when you are trying to learn a new opening or work on something specific like clock management.
Step Three: Study Tactics EVERY single day. Tactics are the life blood of chess. Someone said "Tactics are 99% of chess....AND 99% of the FUN too!" This is VERY VERY true. You need to study tactics...and you need to do alot of problems every day. Start with easy problems and work your way up to hard ones. Go to a bookstore and get a book with a lot of tactical problems and carry it around with you so you can do them in your free time. Lev Alpurt has a book called the chess pocket trainer...it is EXCELLENT for this!
Here is Lev's book ------> http://tinyurl.com/3677j6
Another thing you should do regarding tactics (this is very very important) is to sign up with an online website that trains tactics. ICC (the 1st link I gave you) has tactical training......but here is a free tactical training site:

Again, I cannot stress the importance of tactics. You should be spending about 30% or more of your time studying tactics. Tactics are the number one reason you will lose (and win) games.
Step Four: Train in an opening repoitoire, and find an opening you like...and become good in it...for both white and black. the only way to do this is keep a history of your games (ICC does this automatically) and go back and study each game aftre you are done. You will need an opening manual like MCO (you can find the latest MCO at any bookstore) or a chess database program like chessbase or bookup.
I wouldnt worry too much about openings until your ICC rating is over 1200 or 1300 on standard games. Concentrate on tactics until you reach tthis level. If youre already over this level, it is definitley time to start to build a repoitoire. Become familiar with one or two openings and try to always play the same ones, and learn from your mistakes.
Step 5: Join the USCF or FIDE or chess club where you live. Play in person, using clocks, on a real board. Play in as many tournaments as you can. Nothing will make you improve faster (given that you follow all of the other steps) than this.
Good luck!

You plan to cheat.
You plan to use a chess program set at the highest level, plugging your opponents moves in and duplicating the computer moves.
YAWN.

You found the 5 moves you can do to put a player in check mate, provided they move where you want them to, and they usually do based on your moves.

You'll be white in one and black in the other. Each game you will move what he moved in the other game. Effectively he will play himself with you moving half the pieces.
