>avoiding hanging pieces, placing your pieces so that the opponent cannot pin them So maybe I don't understand your mathematical shorthand correctly but those things are definitely not widely regarded to be a part of strategy. Edit: and if they were we would no longer be in disagreement. So apparently our different views simply come from different definitions.

> and if they were we would no longer be in disagreement. I tried to explain my (perhaps unorthodox) understanding of strategy and tactics in the last paragraph of my grandparent comment. EDIT: Now I can see that I was framed into the tactics:strategy dichotomy by the answers to my top-level comment. To get a better verbalisation of my ideas, replace "strategy" with "principles" in all I wrote.
