Zhuge Liang. There’s a traditional story from the period about the strategist hearing of a rival army approaching a fortress he didn’t have enough troops to defend, so he ordered most of his army to retreat, the city gates to be opened, and went outside and played chess. A scout reported what was happening, and the commander called the battle off, believing it to be an ambush, because the great strategist would never allow himself to be caught off guard.
