{{quote|''Mentsch tracht, Gott lacht.'' ("Man plans, [[God]] laughs.")|'''A Yiddish proverb'''}}
Ah, nothing denotes how [[Crazy Prepared]] [[The Chessmaster]] is like the good old [[Gambit Pileup]]. Truly, there is ''nothing'' these twelfth-level omni-geniuses have not [[Clock King|contemplated in their equations]] and planned for with contingencies [[Time for Plan B|B]][[Crazy Prepared| through Z^42.]]
Then something, or [[Spanner in the Works|someone]], happens. Not just something that the Chessmaster didn't know about, but something that he didn't know he didn't know. In fact there was no way he could have known that that he didn't know this. Thus the brilliant plan goes to pieces, with a deadpan "I Didn't See That Coming" once the dust settles. Less [[The Stoic|Stoic]] fellows may go [[Oh Crap]] or into [[Villainous Breakdown]], though usually it's a [[Spanner in the Works]] that causes that reaction.
