Recognizing Your Opponent's Intentions

One of the most common problems in chess is understanding the purpose behind your opponent's moves. This is also a primary cause of making blunders.

There is a famous quote from 'The Art of War': 'If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.' ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

Therefore, to win, you not only need to understand your own plans and ideas but also those of your opponents.
