One of the hardest things in life is to have words in your heart that you cannot utter.
Mind Games, just like lying, cheating, and deceiving in general, has been so far developed as to be a form of art. In chess, you must predict what your opponent will do, what you will do, and then how he will respond. In running a race, you have to know when to go what speed. In baseball, the question is what kind of pitch will I throw next. In StarCraft, you need be aware of what you see, and what it means, if anything.
At the very top level, mind games are as important as the game itself. Skill level being equal, the competitor with more brainpower will win, without exception.
