How to fight against bigger, stronger opponents in BJJ

When fighting against bigger, stronger opponents, certain positions are better than others. For example you cannot realistically play the same bottom half guard game you would play with a lighter opponent when there is crushing weight bearing down your body. Open guard utilizing your legs to create distance is a great way to move around your opponent and create short bursts of off balancing to get your opponent keep their weight to themselves.
