An intermediate or advanced player can do this, and most will. Anyone who is strong enough to overwhelm, and chooses to do so, should simply be told "no thank you" by those who don't wish to play that game. Sooner, rather than later, that player will find another venue.
No, absolutely disagree. The times set aside for Beginner makes it pretty clear. Not - modify your game to play like a beginner - but be a beginner. As I stated previously, the exception can be a person instructing a beginner.
