Five moves is enough to make sure you are anticipating future outcomes and seeing moves and countermoves. The second reason is that, on a macro level, there are five moves you need to master to succeed in business. They are exactly what you need to do to achieve success. By the time you have studied all five moves, you will have everything you need to achieve whatever type of success you’re after.”
