Strategy is where to go to eat the fried dog meat; tactics are what piece of cutlery to use and whether to eat it with pureed spinach or boiled cassava leaves.

If you knew more about tactics and strategy your rating would be higher. πŸ™‚

In chess: “Tactics is knowing what to do when there is something to do. Strategy is knowing what to do when there is nothing to do.”

sun tzu spoke of more than merely chess
every debate, every glance of her eye
every moment between breaths
all of the yin
and all of the yang
and the razor's edge that lies right smack in the middle

Is that for long shot poker or backgammon? What is meant about winning, does it matter how much money or time was ultimately spent on that? The chess board is known to be mathematically unforgiving with tactical imprecision.

Minding that chess masters can have a backlog of hundreds of thousands of games (including training blitzes) and having career results for wins we may be able to build a poker style perspective case in chess too. As it happens the top chess players of today are quite interested in poker too.

But I feel chess to fundamentally be a different type of practical capitalism at its business core, but that seems covered up by the field staged economy and makeup. Someone like the checkers Tinsley may have a huge, long lasting, natural position advantage at other more traditional economy of top chess. Else if USA would invest into chess as it does into swimming a Phelps - Bobby Fischer alluding future top lawyer may nail the results down for the supporting work team before his 40s. They depend on sportive fitness and accurate feel, but very importantly they depend on a lot of good quality, growing borderline, knowledge capital that could have much more of a larger private enterprise backend than the today somewhat socialist alluding situation makeup (a feel of big judo kids treated mostly equal at sharing the best available chess resources, in this generation they even have a martial arts style honour of not having a too good support team making too much of a difference).

What about inspiration from what went well for the 2000s snooker world? It seems to fit the current chess generation and may not radically change their field economy style. Maybe reduce the standard game length to something most watching amateurs could personally relate with. It is an all day marathon game corner now.

Chess feels naturally more capitalist than snooker but there should be ways to avoid a stagnating monopoly corner and keep a live dynamic top community going. Their current radicalized nomenclature-kids corner feels very wrong and a sign of major core dysfunctionality in the competing field. Mind that sportives and artists would naturally have rather more of cheap-catchy stage names to some degree, but it looks like rabid pressured-staged-politically-gamed extreme now. Lots of potential top competitors are not getting their team, or on business social game together now. Unfortunately Magnus (means "great" in Latin) is riding his favorable domination game-business niche over an overall depressive field, which is not really pushing-investing much for major boundary-bar breaking alternative and prefers to push more "jokering" plays forward. The reached extreme looks socially unhealthy and may ultimately lead to some ugly crash variant.

That the competitors share competing strategies is fundamental, and the demand for publicity highlighted huge options for profitable outlets and the ability to share revenue channels across gaming platforms. Players are demanding ridiculously high payouts and new entrants are hoping to achieve success in the funding and sporting practices. As the following of these games has surged investors have recognised that the company overlords have lost focus on the betting patterns and it would seem that world-class commitment to achieve operational optimisation has engaged lower levels of spending. The importance of budget management and chess moves has opened up new revenue streams in backgammon and as you rightly highlight it’s a player’s market.

Thoughts?

So true, and that principle is exactly what commissioned my OP.
