When there are few remaining moves . . .

Chess is a game of finite and distinct resources. A general too may have different forces at his disposal, and allocation is a difficult part of his job. The warrior's chess is a game of simultaneously alluding and baiting the enemy. A good chessplayer must keep his king out of the range of possible check by an opponent. At the same time, he must FOOL his opponent by provoking him to make moves that will later prove to be wholly unfounded. It also requires the creativity to operate within a rule framework and yet sneak up on the king, thus taking by surprise when the pieces are always visible.
