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.

that is true, i agree with u!

I do agree with the others you mentioned. However, I don’t know if all of Sun Tzu’s principles can be applied to chess.

Ya actually not all of his principles can be applied to chess but then some of his principles can surely be applied

I think we can actually apply Sun Tzu's principles of war to chess like
there are many examples but few of them are:
Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder and crush them.
Set up traps.

If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. 
If your opponent is slow to develop his pieces, look for ways to attack.

If his forces are united, separate them

By controlling the center, it is possible that his forces will be divided. Pick the side to attack where you have more forces.

Here’s a better application: The principle of two weaknesses. When one area of your opponent’s defense is weak, create another weakness in the opponent’s camp. Your opponent can’t defend both.
