Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation. ~ chess quote by Max Euwe

Chess strategy as such today is still in its diapers, despite Tarrasch’s statement ‘We live today in a beautiful time of progress in all fields’. Not even the slightest attempt has been made to explore and formulate the laws of chess strategy. ~ chess quote by Aaron Nimzowitsch

When Alekhine recognizes the weakness in his position he has a tendency to become very aggressive. Patient defence is not for him if he can see the slightest chance of creating an attack.

The separation of Strategy and Tactics is like the separation between Space and Time. There really isn’t a difference, but it sure makes it easier to talk about them. – Jason Varsoke
