Players: “Getting to the battlefield” could also be referred to as knowing the battlefield.

The player or leader who is adept at being deceitful creates a situation in which the enemy is sure to act. He is as a fisherman with fresh bait; the fish is sure to strike.

Players: Creating a situation that ensures the enemy will act must be done in such a way that is convincing. The wise enemy will sense a ruse that is done without the utmost of sincerity. Just as overuse of a tactic will ensure the enemy changes their strategy, overuse of a ruse will enlighten the enemy. At times, no deceit can create the illusion of deceit and ensure the enemy’s mind is trapped. One must always keep the enemy guessing.

This is an essential difference between a mediocre and a great player.
