As for how to beat weaker players ... the strong players whom I have observed
make strong, stable positions; they wait for the weaker player to make
mistakes. The stronger player will leave things unresolved for longer, knowing
that there will be time to extend in one direction or another later in the
game.
They'll include some of the more interesting, obscure joseki, which the weaker
player will not grok appropriately.
I have seen players who make unsound "trick plays", but these are the kyu
players; dan-level players know that "trick plays" can become costly mistakes.
They'll use them for teaching purposes, not to win - but that's a different
kind of game entirely.
