It seems that his opponent has caught onto him. Obi-Wan just waits patiently as Wesley considers his move. He's curious now, wondering what he will do or if they will have to indeed concede on a stalemate.
"I see. Moral victory can be very costly, but otherwise one could lose oneself."
That was a debate all in itself. However, Obi-Wan was the type to prefer taking the moral high ground as it were. Even if it meant making a sacrifice. Even if it brought himself a lot of pain.
Obi-Wan's eyes go back to the game, stroking his beard thoughtfully as he considers his opponents move. He followed along, spreading his pieces out more as well, but still keeping his best well guarded. He gets an idea though, and places a knight well within striking distance. A decoy perhaps? He hasn't sacrificed any pieces yet, and his opponent might expect it and thus consider it a mistake. Thus luring him into a careless move. Or he might suspect at much, ignoring it, allowing him to advance.
