[Deep down Vash knows that this isn't a good strategy, but he prefers people to see him as a harmless idiot. So he forgoes trying to think ahead for this game. After a few more games to give himself a more normal intelligence, or rather an impatient idiot's, learning curve he'll try a bit harder.
It's still only his second time playing so he would have unlikely won even if he gave it his all; so he takes notes on Iroh's moves. When he plays more seriously someday it will be good to learn. He can also appreciate that it's clear Iroh is giving the new player some time to learn and not outright destroying him. Not that he'll ever let on he's guessed Iroh is a lot better player than this.
He takes a small area away from Iroh. A momentary victory he knows, but he grins cheekily as if that area will somehow win him the game.]
