Strategy is the most fundamental part of chess. Strategy means systematic action on the basis of an understanding of the game, and the implementation of a plan aimed at weakening and – in the end – destroying the opponent’s position. Tactics are single moves within the framework of a strategic plan. Clearly strategy has been with us since the beginning of the game, but a strategy based on pawn structure (and subsequently the placing of both pieces and pawns) was not developed until Philidor came along. Strategic theory was first analysed by Steinitz. Subsequently, Tarrasch, Nimzowitsch, and the so-called ‘hypermoderns’ (Reti, Tartakower) and other twentieth century masters made important contributions to chess theory. Today chess strategy develops as the game evolves, but the classic fundamentals of theory remain the same.
