This blog is really cool!
Very simple just turn off the rating when inside the game on Lichess. There's an option in the Preferences for that. You won't even know what rating are you playing against!
during fide rated games you shouldn't see the opponents rating.
Another superb blog post in a growing list. Keep up the great work!
Ummm, if the player is rated 150 points higher or more just play your best. But obviously they're going to know a little more than you. You don't have to become some ruthless idiot thinking you should win either.
Однажды я совершила огромную ошибку. Согласилась на ничью в совершенно выигрышной позиции! А могла выиграть турнир.

I’ve beaten a 1900+ rated player when rated 890. That isn’t necessarily true, but you do have a point.
I never agree on a draw. I think it better to lose rather than get a draw because in a loss you will learn something new

LMAO Stop it ! And I once saw Superman flying in the sky. There would be NO way you won if he didn't just LET you win. 890 against 1900 ? Not happening.
its not impossible I have beaten players wayyyy higher rated then me.
