Obviously if I thought they knew the correct reply I wouldn't play that move. So how can it be disrespectful if they have no idea that I'm deliberately playing an unsound move? And just to clarify, I'm not talking about beginner's traps. I'm just talking about either complex puzzle-like situations, where very precise playing is required to come out on top, but where I happen to know the variations, or as I said, pulling out the light-squared bishop too early in d4 openings, but where even if he makes the correct response it's still more or less playable. And I have occasionally beaten 2200+ players with these, although admittedly rarely, which is why I don't do them anymore with them.
