This can be witnessed in a game of chess. The winner of chess games are almost always the one that can plan his next move. Therefore, the loser of the match is usually the one that is busy making moves for his current turn and can not foresee anything else. You are only as strong as your next move means, if you have nothing planned, you are weak because you will always be hurriedly covering holes and making up for loss time. But when you know your next move you are strong and know what to expect.
