Stratagem 9: Watch the Fire Burning from Across the River
Identification
Take advantage of your role as a bystander. If your opponent is engaged in conflict, await and observe from a safe distance.
Example
Figure out a strategy when one of your opponents is engaged in conflict. Later, swoop in to defeat the exhausted survivor.
Solution
Never give 100% of your energy to any one conflict: you never know who is watching.
