    I've found this book very useful in getting a better understanding of strategy games and how to play to win. So much of this book can apply to these types of games, basically anyone who plays games with a hint of strategy could benefit from this book. Of course it's all set in ancient times, so it takes some analysis to be able to apply the ideas to modern situations but it really helped me out. I was never really amazing at strategy type games but reading this book and applying many of its concepts helped me win a tournament in a real time action strategy game tournament, as well as get to #2 on its leaderboards. One thing it, along with other reading i've done, made me ruly realize and understand is that a win is a win no matter how you get there. If you want to win, then play to win and forget about making the honorable move.

    Of course this book has so many more uses than just to win games. With the right understanding it can apply to many aspects of life, it only takes a little ingenuity to see the connections.
