Games are serious but life is fun

Distracting your opponent by complaining about other people who might be (but weren't) distracting your opponent. This approach was recommended by Potter, who always insisted that the good gamesman must always give the appearance of being a good sportsman. If an opponent is (say) about to take a shot at billiards, it is bad gamesmanship to fidget and whistle , but good gamesmanship to distract him by requesting silence from spectators.
