I understand the desire for a theme, but chess is actually very heavy on both tactics and strategy.
I just can’t get into the looking-10-moves-ahead business. I can strategize what I’m going to do, and in general if you do this then I do that, but I can’t plan out multi-layered tactics to counter the next 5 successive moves you might make of a possible 300 tactical options available to you.
neither can I, yet I still like chess.
