Character: Shiri

- There are two theories about the strategy of chess, explained Ian. - In fact, thousands of them, but the major only two. The first is that a key figure on the Board is the second row - the king, knight, rook, Queen and so on. This theory assigns the role of pawns for the exchange figures in the development of tactics of the game. The second theory, on the contrary, argues that pawns can and should be at the point of attack, and that a clever strategist should use them to attack if it wants to win. Frankly, for me, both theories do not work.
- What's the difference between tactics and strategy? she asked. Is a purely technical problem?
Ian pondered the question Shiri, and he's got a sneaking suspicion that the answer he does not know.
The difference in terms, it is purely theoretical - there came from the height of the confident voice of Ben. - A tactic is a set of small steps that you take to walk to some place. Strategy is the steps that you do when you have nowhere to go.
