Tony Ridley is an international security and risk management professional. His references discuss how game theory can help understand security games but determining an opponent's intentions can be difficult. Asian and Western values and analytical frameworks are often very different, so security strategies that assume understanding can fail. Go is a strategic game of control and influence, unlike chess which is a game of attrition with limited combinations.

This means that given a game, game theory will tell you how the game should be played as
opposed how it will actually be played.
However, given the problems of determining an opponents rationale and intentions, a good
solution might given by game theory but it could be for the wrong game in the first place.

the "rules" when in fact they're not even playing the same "game" which
can explain the failure of so many grand "strategies".
