“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
~Sun Tzu

I liken it to the rope-a-dope strategy that the great Mohammed Ali used to defeat Joe Frazier back in 1971. He kept letting himself be driven into the ropes, but avoiding any serious blows, causing Frazier to use all his energy swinging at air. Then late in the fight, heah come Mohammed Ali, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm and knock that Joe Frazier in he haid TKO to Missa Mohammed Ali.

That was George Foreman that got roped and doped in the championship fight in Zaire - the rumble in the jungle - in 1974...not Joe Frazier. Foreman had pummeled Frazier a year earlier to get the championship.

BTW, Talking to my former Mainland Chinese close friend the other night, I learned that Sun Tzu is pronounced:

Sooen Tzu

or

Swen Tzu

I don’t recall which tones. Maybe someone can do the Pin Yin better or the pronunciation better and add the tone numbers.
