* in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lamsmBnv48 Kirby: The King's Gambit]]'', King Dedede challenges Kirby to a game of Chess in front of a large audience. The chess game starts with King Dedede watching Kirby grab a piece not normally used in Chess openings, and concludes he's about to be absolutely decimated in front of an entire crowd by some new Chess maneuver that will just ruin his game and make him look like a loser! Kirby then sticks the pawn in his mouth, and Dedede yells at him to make his move (believing he is being mocked). Kirby then begins to make nonsensical moves, and King Dedede becomes exasperated until he stops and asks Kirby if he's ''ever'' played Chess. Kirby has not.

[[CanonicalListOfSubtleTropeDistinctions Subtly]] different from the IndyPloy, in that the IndyPloy is making it up as you go along. Example: Indy needs to escape. "Oh, hey, look, an open window! I'll dive through it and figure out how to safely land after I'm already committed to going through the window." Strategy, Schmategy is about doing something without any plan for it to improve things. Example: Joe is trying to beat Mastermind at a game. Joe doesn't know the rules, or the scoring system, so he's just going to move pieces randomly and hope he wins.
