Comments.Text: The short article http://www.apronus.com/chess/tactics-or-strategy.htm asks the question of what is strategy by analyzing a very complicated tactical operation that could have been calculated from the start to end resulting in "pure tacticts" or it could have been undertaken based on positional considerations and intuition resulting in "deep strategy". Hope this helps in your search for clarity concerning the concept of strategy.

  My questions are:
  
  1. Do you agree on the above?
  2. How would you define chess strategy?
  3. If you had to choose only 1 game that illustrates chess strategy in
     action what would that game be?
  4. What methods do you use to evaluate a position to determine your
     strategy?
