That's what I call playing the chessboard, not the pieces.
There was a moment in the movie that the coach pushed all the material off the chessboard and asked " Now do you see it !" So the actor Bobby looked at the chessboard and finally saw the answer. Playing the chessboard does not need all the pieces on the board. Some times it helps visualize thing is you imagine if a piece was not there or was there instead. Then new ideas and new key squares become visible.
