They say it's all in the timing, and as usual, they're right.

All too often a perfectly thought-out attack, executed a moment too soon or too late,

turns out to be not so perfect.

Similarly, you will find some opponents upon whom you can depend to walk

right into a trap you set ten moves ago.

It's all a matter of knowing when to do something and when to do nothing.

The former is usually obvious, but knowing when to leave things well enough alone,

ah,there's the rub.
