Instinct is a quick flick, a wild card that can swing the odds in an instant, while strategy is a slow burn, setting up a chain of moves that leaves little room for error. In the end, the edge belongs to whoever can read the opponent's pulse and still keep the long‑term plan in sight. So it’s less about choosing one or the other and more about blending the two until the strike lands perfectly.

Nice. A flash to mask the true move, then a steady grind to close it out. Keeps the opponent guessing long enough that the final strike feels inevitable.
