Are trick moves wrong?

Any move is ok.

If you’re the type of person that doesn’t like trick moves, then don’t play them, but also don’t hate your opponent for playing them. They’re playing how they want to play, and that’s how the game is best played.

I think the game is at its peak enjoyment when both players are playing the moves they like and want to play.

By playing trick moves you are the risk taker. It would be wise to use trick moves that will get you a lot when responded incorrectly and lose only a little when responded correctly. Usually trick moves can fool most people below fox/tygem 7d, probably not for higher and definitely not for pros.
