Strategy vs Tactics

Question

Refers to how a player makes a decision on whether to employ strategy or tactics on their next move.

Answer 1

Strategy involves planning on how the game should proceed. For example, do you want to play an open or closed game, are you trying to win in the opening, are you striving for a superior end game position or are you planning on winning by superior tactics. Tactics involves winning material or forcing checkmate by using a combination of moves by different chess pieces.
