00:00To actually understand, because you have to look at the games your opponent played,
00:05certain decisions he or she made before.
00:07But if you can get the best of this knowledge,

01:30And while you never know exactly what your opponent is comfortable or not,

01:42or a club-level chess, your knowledge of your opponent is highly limited.
01:45But you know exactly who you are.
01:48And if you play the game that is not making you feel comfortable,
