    2,500 years of strategic wisdom can't be wrong. Do you have what it takes to be a general of Sun Tzu's? Find out in just ten short questions.

    Sun Tzu

    The legend goes that Sun Tzu was born into minor nobility and given a good education, after which he wrote a military treatise in order to get noticed and hired by royalty. He then expanded his 13-chapter THE ART OF WAR into 82 chapters and trained the army. Eventually he broke the peace by invading the southern state of Yue. Other conflicts ensued, but although his troops were once outnumbered 30,000 to 200,000 he was always victorious. Many successes followed and continued after his death. Some considered his death to be another of his deceptions.

    • Playing Poker with Sun Tzu
      from Anthony Palmer

      All warfare is based on deception. How true that is in poker. Great work guys!

    • Wow!!!
      from Mark Keller

      The first two pages are all about preventing war (confrontation), because war is expensive in terms of time, energy, money and lives. The rest of the pages is all about winning war if it cannot be prevented. Pure genius!
