You deliberately play moves which are intended to "increase your chances" in the game. i.e. to increase the "probability [of success or whatever]." For example, setting difficult problems for your opponent is a good idea because it increases the likelihood that your opponent will make a poor move. Bob D. > >w.b.r. >Otello
