No, that's not it.  It's not a matter of friction.  Here's what I

That gives a 4 defense with the large and small poised (which is great
to get to some powerful positions on your next move).  Like in Zendo
offense v defense v poised is determined relative to the table surface
and being even a little bit off means you're off.
