Sun Tzu Agrees

I just came across a Sun Tzu quote that seems to support my previous post about the importance of learning strategy before tactics. I know he was talking about war, and I am speaking of chess, but the two are closely tied, and kings used to play chess to prepare their minds for war. The message is clear, don't be flashy, just make sure you get the job done.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. -Sun Tzu
