Strategies and Tactics
Strategies and tactics are the life's blood of a chess player. Being able to understand, create, and properly utilize strategies and techniques is the major difference between beginning and class players. A student of the game has no hope of ever advancing his or her level of play if he or she does not understand and master chess strategies and tactics.
