Which is more confident of his power to win the game:

1. "I will win because I already know every single move you will make in advance."
2. "It doesn't matter where you move, I will figure out a way to win anyway, even without knowing your moves in advance."

To me, 2 is more awesome than 1.

3. "I have already won. You just don't know it yet, nor how I won, because you are temporally bounded whereas I am not."
