Mass respect. I just played a game and re watched it with hints to get a feel how a pro match would go and I discovered a very interesting thing when the computer plays itself.... thesis and antithesis

For every move the counter was equally the opposite. If one guy tempted the other responded with a corresponding tempt. Of one guy was in attempt to remove say a bishop then the other was preparing to equally remove the same. And in other cases the opponent would respond to defensive moves with offensive moves.

Ultimately I found that each piece moved had a corresponding intent or goal. Say a horse moving to the right side of the board. There's no telling that early in the game where they're heading but towards the end you can tell if they plan to set up blockage, attack, or distract. As the game progresses and the further the pieces get from each other, the clearer the plan of the enemy becomes.
