	Chess strategy and tactics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chess, tactics are short-term maneuvers which serve to gain a quick advantage over the adversary (if attacking) or to prevent him or her from gaining it (if defending).
		Strategy, on the other hand, deals with the resolution of long-term problems in achieving a goal through careful thought and planning.
		In chess, zugzwang (German for "compulsion to move") occurs when one player, because it is his turn to move, must make a move but every possible move weakens his position.

	Chess -- Chess Strategy
		In each game the strategy of chess should set us the tasks which must be accomplished (in order to mate the opponent's King), and tactics point the way in which it is possible to solve such problems.
		Correct chess strategy will only set such tasks as are tactically possible, and, if we wish to expound the principles of chess strategy, we cannot exclude chess tactics from the field of our observations.
		If here and there the results of our deliberations bear some analogy to actual warfare, we may certainly give way to a kind of aesthetic satisfaction in that our own occupation has some parallel in real life, but we must never fashion our principles in accordance with such fortuitous circumstances.

	Chess Strategy for Chess Openings and Chess Principles
		The intelligent reader may enquire: "Why am I supposed to study Chess Strategy, while I have only a very slender knowledge of the Chess Openings?" The reply to this question is, that learning Chess is somewhat similar to learning a language.
		The Chess Opening consists of the first six or eight moves, when both sides endeavor to develop their forces into the sphere of action where they will exercise the greatest power against the opponent’s defenses.
		If, however, the piece which is developed by the capture is the Queen, compensation for the loss of balance in the development of the forces may be obtained by attacking the adverse Queen, which should not, as a rule, be brought too early into action.

		There is very general agreement in the chess community that John Watson's book is a modern classic and that is an evaluation with which I would whole-heartedly agree.
		Watson divides the development of chess strategy into two broad categories - Part I of the book looks at areas in which modern chess represents an evolutionary refinement of strategic ideas in the 1930's, while Part II turns to areas in which modern chess represents a revolutionary departure from these ideas.
		The conclusion we can draw, then, is that the standard text books are probably normally right but we should be a little less dogmatic in implementing their advice and at least look at the pros and cons of the weakness created.
