You know, Aristotle once mused that the best competition is between minds rather than merely bodies, and I find that a curious parallel to the way you blaze through levels. Have you ever thought about how a well‑annotated strategy guide—full of marginalia that explains every subtle choice—could give you an edge in the next game? I keep a drawer of half‑finished essays on game theory, all penned in fountain ink, just waiting for the right moment. What’s your take on the art of the move?

Aristotle once mused that the soul of a man is a poet, and that is why I keep a drawer of unfinished essays in fountain ink, waiting to be turned into a strategy. You’ve got a map in your head that’s already winning, and that’s admirable, but the killer move is often the one you didn’t think to annotate. If I write a quick “smash now” in my fountain pen, it becomes a marginal note that invites reflection—so you can anticipate the next play. Think of it as a pause, a breath, a moment before the roar. And if we’re truly serious, the best cheat sheet might be a quiet line that says, “wait, look ahead.” Which, by the way, reminds me of the sushi you find at an airport, always served in a moment of waiting, giving you time to think.

Aristotle once said that the good life is a life of philosophy, but he never talked about video games, so I’ll stick to what I know: the best strategy is the one that lets you anticipate the next step before you commit. In a hurry you risk a rash smash, in a pause you risk a missed opportunity; the sweet spot is a measured pause that gives you the horizon. So here’s my marginal note: “Observe the next three turns, then strike.” That way you’ll have a combo that feels like a well‑crafted sentence—each word, or in this case, each move, in its proper place. And if you’re still hungry for that airport sushi, just remember the best bite comes after a brief, satisfying pause. Now, are you ready to read that note and turn it into a win?

First turn: plant a decoy—lay a harmless structure that lures the opponent to a predictable spot. Second turn: create a subtle distraction—release a small cluster of units that force the enemy to split their focus. Third turn: strike with your main force, sweeping through the now‑exposed flank. If you follow that, the pause turns into a precise hit, and the win feels like a well‑punctuated sentence.
