The individual feeling of alertness concentration put into every move is communicated when watching; the dedication transmits and reveals itself, as well as intelligence. Each sequence of moves planned and executed are like a performance. The creativity to build patterns, producing systems of techniques, that outsmarts the opponent. The gamer creates illusions to fool and manipulate the opponent into thinking what he wants them to think; to lay his trap. Good gamers recognize this and identify with fooling the human mind, as well as the finesse and elegance he may apply to his style. When you feed the inputs of the mind, you're able to predict the outcome, if you are smarter than your opponent. "About 95% of the concepts, ideas and moves are only done in the mind; the other 5% is the physical manifestation of the 95% unseen and unmoved. Nothing is hidden but only those who look will ever see the underlying beauty of this art form. There are none so blind as those who will not see" - Kel -- Esben Stien is b0ef@e s a http://www. s t n m irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact sip:b0ef@ e e jid:b0ef@ n n
