The basics are easy enough to learn. Like all the best games, the more you learn, the less you realise you know. But it's fun finding out.

When I play I think I'm pretty good at formulating decent plans to attack, but so often I overlook what my opponent is doing and just as I'm about to launch a crushing blow... I get crushed.

When I teach, I say the first part of the thought process when your opponent moves is to answer the question, Why did he do that?. It gives you the incentive to focus on what your opponent is up to. Once you answer that, you know you need to deal with it in your next move, or understand why you don't need to worry about it.

Why do we stick our tongues out and pull a funny face when concentrating on trying to do  something fiddly?

It stems back to when we were babies and virtually everything we did with out hands involved our mouths.
