Strawman argument.

Anyone can apply any type of philosophy to their own life. You don't need to be born Christian to believe in Christianity. And, to your previous posts, who specifically said this philosophy is exclusive to the Chinese? Look at the Chinese in the world, not the game of Chess, they're a global superpower as well. The Chinese may be lacking in the Chess aspect of things, but in the world, they are one of those at the top of the world.

Develop and improve your position while your opponent is quiet, but attack yourself a move before your opponent has the chance to attack.

Wait that actually makes a lot of sense. I need to start down my that in my games. Thank you, Chinese philosophy.

It reminds me of the time when I offered a Queen exchange to my opponent, but then they moved a piece other than their Queen.

Now, I don't want to exchange my Queen.
