Sun Tzu Art of war

I think we can actually apply Sun Tzu's principles of war to chess like
there are many examples but few of them are:
When we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make the enemy believe we are near
How is this one applied? I can figure out something for the rest you mentioned, but I can’t figure out this one.

wait i will see if i can explain

https://www.chess.com/game/live/101711450553if u see in this game, my opponent believed that he was creating a big attack and thought he could leave my pieces hang around his loopholes but then because of 1 loophole he lost the game

tbh ur opponent asked for trouble and got it
btw did you learn french from me lol
no i didnt learn French from u and i know very very little French tbh

Sorry, that doesn’t help.
u see in the game my opponent believed that I was far and was trying to prepare a big attack but then he didnt realize that my pieces were sitting in front of his king and decided to attack my king instead of defending his king and lost the game

The problem is, that idea doesn’t work with stronger opponents. They’re likely to see it.
All moves made should have a purpose and not be inactive. Attacks are both expected from near and far. You know this, and you should expect your opponent to know it too. Know your enemy.

Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder and crush them.

If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.
If his forces are united, separate them
