Tian Ji often gambled with the nobles of the State of Qi to win or lose horse races. Sun Tzu found that their strength was not much different, but they were all upper, middle and lower. So the grandson said to Tian Ji, "As long as you bet heavily on winning or losing, I can let you win." Tian Ji believed his grandson's words and bet his daughter on horse racing with the children of the King of Qi and the nobles. Before the race, Sun Tzu told Tian Ji, "Use your inferior horse to their superior horse, use your superior horse to their middle horse, and use your middle horse to their inferior horse." After three rounds, Tian Ji lost one game and won two games, winning the best game of Qi.
