This is the common practice among chess players. Dharma says: It is better to lose a son than to lose an advantage. If you attack the left, you will look to the right; if you attack the back, you will look forward. There is first and then, there is last and then there is. The two lives should not be separated, and both lives should not be connected. Don't be too broad, don't be too close, and don't be too close. Instead of loving your son in order to survive, it is better to abandon him and win; instead of having nothing to do and walking alone, it is better to hold on to him and replenish himself. If there are many others and we are few, we should seek to survive first; if there are many others but few of us, we should try to expand our power.
