Yup. Watching a chess match is a bit like watching someone wire
a tree.

Exactly right! Fascinating!

Actually, one can learn a GREAT deal by watching an adept wire a tree.
Given a 3 or 4 hour wiring session for a tree, there are amazing
opportunities to learn important stuff. Like chess, its instructional value
is heightened if you understand something of the basic patterns involved.
Variation and deviation from norms are often enlightening. I highly
recommend it.

Kind regards,
