There are three types of chess players.
The first type of chess player doesn't know how to strategize; his vision isn't on the whole game, but just in one corner.
This type is considered unrefined.
The second type of chess player knows how to strategize. Though he can see the whole board, he doesn't understand the nuances and lacks brilliance, never making any clever moves.
This type is considered to have crossed the threshold.
The third type of chess player holds landscapes in his mind, possesses moderation and cunning, understands the entire situation perfectly, seeing the snake in the grass and hidden lines stretching for miles. From the moment his first piece is placed on the board, he knows both that he wants to win and how to win.
This type has truly entered the room.
Zong Cheng belongs to the third type, or rather, he has transformed from the first type to the third type.
