It's like matchups with humans or in basketball. This team is better than this team. But again, there's some matchups that are hugely favorable. A lot of the inside game of basketball is around which teams thrive against which other teams, even though they might be inferior because of the nature of the construction of the team. And you have networks of those teams.

And how do you deal with lineups? How do you deal with rotation patterns? The inner game of basketball is all based on The same stuff that dictates the bishop and the knight and the rook and the queen and how they influence it, right? It's interdependence. Beautiful.

And you can think about Robert Persick's work in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Lila around dynamic quality versus static quality. And you can be teaching a student, while you're teaching about rook and bishop and rook and knight or knights and bishops, you can be teaching them about dynamic quality.
