If you set out with a concrete idea of how the game will go, you will surely crumble.

Be more flexible in your approach, experiencing the game as you play it.

Each opponent is different and must be handled individually.

Sometimes the best question to ask yourself is the simplest:

"What's the best move?" "Best," in this case,

being defined as the move that creates a threat your

adversary cannot withstand or a move in which an exchange

of material ends in your advantage.

You should have a plan, to be sure,

yet make each move in the moment of now.
