Shinra nodded, listening to everything that Myoo said. With the first move of his opponent made, Shinra did another move. This pattern would continue on throughout the game, Shinra employing a strange strategy, he was allowing his pieces to be caught out and close to being captured. But everytime that Myoo would move pieces to capture that one, another of his pieces would be brought in to capture the first piece that moved out of the fold.

"You're more than welcome to come by my house and my personal book collection. There is one I have been reading about The Thirty-Six Strategems.  A means of discerning what your opponent or you are going to be doing by using generalist terminology and then discerning on the details of each of them.  Did you know there was once, before the time of shinobi, a stronghold that was surrounded by enemies? They knew that they were surrounded mind you, but did not attack, it was a war of attrition.  So what would they do in the stronghold? Sitting there with dwindling supplies?"

This speech would continue through several moves, Shinra wanting to see if Myoo could pick up on what he was doing.

"They trained. Every day they would perform their exercises outside in the fields for the enemy to see.  Now the enemy would watch this, day in and day out. This become so routine that they were used to it happening around week three.  On that third week they took the time to make their move and attack their enemy encampment and break through the lines.  Their foe was so used to watching people train that they hadn't expected an attack to come from it."

He looked up at Myoo, wanting to see his ally's reaction. "And that was with a single strategist behind them.  It was a gambit that won them the day in the end.  But what if their foe hadn't been so lax?" Shinra asked this, and everytime one of his pieces were to be captured, he dissipated them into iron sand back into the air.
