Threaten small to take big

Yeah, the corollary of the previous principle: people pay close attention to the big threats and to moves they don’t understand.

If you are aiming only for the king, your attack is obvious. On the other end, if your bishop is also targeting a weak pawn, your opponent may overlook that it would allow your knight to come in close to the king.

If a move has apparently no purpose, your opponent may wonder why you’re making it and search until he finds the threat. However, if there is a visible threat, like taking a pawn, or exchanging a minor piece, your opponent may very well protect the piece under attack and miss completely the bigger picture.

You’re fighting for a sleeve grip (Judo), pulling, pushing, etc. and as the opponent pulls back to defend the grip, you step in with O Soto Gari (Judo throw – check it out on YouTube). Since his attention was on the sleeve, he's doesn’t see the O Soto coming.

You’re pumping a weak jab at your opponent “to keep distance” and when he tries to crowd you, you fire a big right to the jaw.

If your opponent has no explanation for your move, he’ll be on his guard. However, if the preparatory move appears to be a weak attack or aimed at a target your opponent doesn’t worry much about, your chances of scoring big increase a lot.
