You think like Sun Tzu
The Sage of War
You would rather win before the fight starts. You read terrain, timing and people — then commit.
Strengths
- Wins before the fight starts
- Reads ground, timing and people
- Commits only when the sum is done
Blind spot
You can keep reading the ground until the moment to move has gone. Calculation is your strength, and it is also how you postpone the commitment.
A move for you
Name, before you start, the one condition that would make you commit today. When that condition appears, stop calculating and move.
On the record
Traditional author of The Art of War, 13 chapters on calculation, terrain and deception.
