Strategy must also involve tactics, because if there is no tactics behind the chess strategy it becomes pointless. It’s like planning to walk a dog this morning if you don’t have one.

 

To develop strategy player must evaluate position on the chess board. When evaluating, player must take into account following:

  • Control of center and key squares (You may want to check out my previous discussion over the Central Squares)

  • Control of open files, long diagonals

  • Own and opponent’s weaknesses (isolated pawns, “bad” bishops/knights, developmental problems)

In Chess, for example, AlphaZero independently discovered and played common human motifs during its self-play training such as openings, king safety and pawn structure. But, being self-taught and therefore unconstrained by conventional wisdom about the game, it also developed its own intuitions and strategies adding a new and expansive set of exciting and novel ideas that augment centuries of thinking about chess strategy.

 

The first thing that players will notice is AlphaZero's style, says Matthew Sadler – “the way its pieces swarm around the opponent’s king with purpose and power”. Underpinning that, he says, is AlphaZero’s highly dynamic game play that maximises the activity and mobility of its own pieces while minimising the activity and mobility of its opponent’s pieces. Counterintuitively, AlphaZero also seems to place less value on “material”, an idea that underpins the modern game where each piece has a value and if one player has a greater value of pieces on the board than the other, then they have a material advantage. Instead, AlphaZero is willing to sacrifice material early in a game for gains that will only be recouped in the long-term.

>gibberish to chess players. No good chess player thinks in terms of eliminating opposing pieces. It's all about position.

For three-dimensional chess. Once temporal manipulation becomes a part of the picture position is irrelevant (You exist or can occur at all points simultaneously), all that matters is who is generating influence over the board. At that point, eliminating influence becomes the objective over what pattern your pieces are arranged in.
