Using targeted actions to force specific reactions in your favour

Create openings by making your opponents react in a predictable way
If your opponent gives you an opening, take it.
If your opponent does not give you an opening, then create it with an action that triggers an exploitable response.
Regardless of the form – direct threats, decoys, disruptions, distractions, etc. – the underlying goal remains the same:
“be first, and be third.”
