It's kind of different. How about putting some more light on it?

Sure. In the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer the most telling scene for me was when Bruce (the teacher) sets up a problem for Josh (the student) on the chess board. Josh peers at it for a moment and says “ I can’t solve it. “ Then Bruce says “ Let me help you. “ and sweeps the board clear. Josh then rests his chin on his folded arms and stares at the vacant board. Bruce was making the point , in a zen-like way , that the pieces are merely placeholders and powerless. The real game develops in the mind from the present moment to the future through the realization of the imagination which is not visible to the eyes.
