Yes, Saladin was a good military leader, when fighting against the Crusaders, he besieged and captured Palestine from the Kingdom of Jerusalem, after his success at the Battle of Hattin also known as the Horns of Hattin - where he had strategically battled against the Crusaders and as a result of their victory the Muslims became the most eminent military power in the Holy Land, reconquering Jerusalem.

He was also chivalrous as noted even by the Christian chroniclers. Despite him being their nemesis in terms of battle, he won the majority of their respects, including that of Richard the Lionheart, Saladin was a key example of the principles of chivalry.
