    The 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene summarized as succinctly as possible in this 24-min animation by yours truly, illacertus. I received an e-mail reply from Robert Greene after waiting an approximate three months since I sent my initial fan mail linking to these summaries, in which he says Thank You.

      Ironically, Mike Tyson failing to have a game plan or strategy he lost his biggest fights. Ie Buster Douglass, Evandar Holifield and Lennox Lewis, That quote can be debunked in so many ways to a student of the sport that it’s quite laughable, especially being as though Floyd Mayweather was hit by a big shot by Shane Mosley, recovered then dominated the rest of the fight. His trainer at the time Roger Mayweather advised him to get back to the game plan and that’s when he won the rest of the fight, most of Floyd Mayweather fights versus big punchers he had a game plan and always executed it and won obviously being 50-0.strategy is key which is why you should always have back up plans as well.

    It's important to bear in mind that there was NO such thing as a unified Blitzkrieg doctrine or plan.

    Nice one, for mentioning Grandmaster Bokuden! His art/style of swordsmanship is legendary, it was called "Mutekatsu Ryu". After, more than a decade of studies & practice on this material, I actually applied it to my own techniques and understanding of swordsmanship, which I call "Katsujin-Ken Mutekatsu-Ryu" - "The Movement-art of the life-giving Sword"
    Because, a real sword master defeats his opponents without using the sword. And if he does not use the sword, it gives life to man."

    ive been studying a lot of chess in my spare time (it keeps my brain involved but is more gamelike than studying pharmacology and pharmacotherapy) and I think a lot of these can be applied to chess
    2) playing main lines makes it easy for your opponent to have preparation against your game.
    3) This one feels obvious for anyone who has had their king surrounded by a queen, knight, and rook, only to find an unguarded forced mate or cheeky back-rank mate. when your back is against the wall, take a deep breath and look for the best move.
    4) play every game for the mate.
    5) GM Daniel Nardiowsky will tell you to always question your presuppositions about what moves you "can" and "cant" make. then again, GM Ben Feingold will tell you to always retreat, so maybe the answer is somewhere in between
    6) it's important to know when to fight on the queenside, when to break in the middle, and when to push on the kingside
    8) pawn-grabbing can get you trapped.
    9) even from a losing position, you can find a win by exploiting an aggressor's overextension
    10) use the momentum to keep your opponent on their back feet. you being more active will force them to be more passive.
    11) space for time is basically how you play most black defenses.
    12) sacrifices and gambits can be devastating
    13) preparation. I have a friend who always plays the london as white and the closed sicilian as black. I have gotten very good at lines against the london and the grand prix against the closed sicillian
    14) gambits
    15) always be in control of the action on the chess board. zugzwang is literally a chess term
    16) target weaknesses in your opponent's positions and let it unravel before you
    17) draw/push their peices to one side, then break open the other
    18) again, know the weaknesses in your opponent's position and apply pressure until they crack.
    19) mating nets
    20) this is basically the point of chess
    21) dont offer a draw when you're down 5 points and looking down the barrel of a mate in 5.
    22) convert winning positions
    23) draw your opponent's focus to one side, then strike on the other while they're in auto-pilot: you might catch them hanging a piece
    24) again, playing non-main lines will catch your opponent unprepared more often than playing the clean main line
    26) dont overextend and create weaknesses in your own position
    28) let your opponent overextend and crash upon your stronger defenses.
    29) sometimes settling for a free minor piece or stronger position is better than chasing the king or queen around the board and creating weaknesses in your own position
    30) penetrate their defenses. be annoying. it will cause your opponent to make mistakes
    32) sometimes it's best to draw back and prepare for a cheeky tactic
    33) watch your opponent's position unravel after taking a crucial weak pawn that defended a knight that defended a bishop that was holding a safe spot for the queen.

    Strategy is a mental process. Everything starts with your mind. You're in a spiritual war with your self. You need clarity, presence, a sense of urgency and control over emotions.
    As you go about strategically planning the next weeks, months and years of your life let me share some thoughts from Jordan Peterson on heros and the dominance hierarchy.
    "The big hero is the person who goes out and slays the dragon, gets the gold, brings it back to the community and distributes it. He's also the person most likely to go up the dominance hierarchy. He's the person most likely to find the virgin, because it's a virgin that you free from the dragon and you get to claim her.
    The dominance hierarchy is a mechanism mediated by female choice, that selects heros and then breeds them. We watch that for 6 million years. We start to understand what it means to be the hero. We start to tell stories about that and so not only are we genetically aiming at that, but our stories are trying to push us in that direction. Then we say "Look, that person's admirable." Tell a story about him.
    At the same time we talk about the people who aren't admirable. We have the admirable and non-admirable as categories and out of that you get something like good and evil. Then you can start to imagine the perfect person. You'd take 10 people who are admirable and pull out someone who is meta-admirable *and that's a hero.* That becomes a religious figure across time, that becomes a savior, a messiah, as we conceptualize what the ideal person is."
    Will others be inspired to write stories of you and your admirable character traits?
