15 little steps are all that I need to take. From this starting point, all that I have to do is take 15 steps. I have to take them on my own, to fight for and win every inch of ground that I take and to place my flag upon it. My starting point is secure; I am no longer in any form of danger at my starting stake. My mind is clear, and my play is strong, and that which drives my play is singularly unique and vibrant and there is nothing else quite like it on this earth. I fear nothing, yet can be impeccably technical in craft, and I can reach out and possess the mind of the other, no matter what form it takes, and so I can manipulate him in all forms, as I maintain no shape for him to grasp and hold no pattern for him to identify, all the while as I take sheer delight in the moment as I vanquish him remorselessly. And so all that I need to do is to take 15 Steps. And this time I'll do it without the shear drop.
