Second intention remarks

Via a thread on Fencing.Net...

Maestro Bernacchi:

the concept of second intention is a very general one: fencing is all second intention.
It is built on feigning to avoid parries, or on attack actions made
intentionally "short" to lure the opponent to parry and therefore to be
able to counterparry the usual riposte of the opponent.
