The movie Last Castle with Robert Redford gives us an idea of how the playbook can be used. In this movie, the white hat team creates a fake worst-case scenario, so the black hat team runs their entire playbook thus exposing themselves and their plays. Now the white hat team can prepare and win because they know all the moves. Redford uses chess as an analogy in this movie. Great movie. Worth watching. Interestingly, the black hat leader is played by James Gandolfini, who played a mafia character in Sopranos.
