In Chess, '''Strategy''' is related to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chess#Positional_play positional play] and setting up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_%28goal%29 goals] and long-term [[Planning|plans]] for future play most importantly considering [[Pawn Structure|pawn structure]] and [[King Safety|king safety]]. In computer chess, while [[Tactics|tactics]] is the domain of [[Search|search]], strategy is almost the domain of [[Evaluation|evaluation]].

The concepts of strategy and tactics in chess and other sports are derived from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military military] origins as defined as a fourfold [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy hierarchy] of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy strategy], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_objective operational objective], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_tactics tactic] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task task].

=Steinitz's Four Rules of Strategy=
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Steinitz Wilhelm Steinitz], the first undisputed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship world chess champion] from 1886 to 1894, was a main chess correspondent to present his ideas about chess strategy <ref>[http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chess_Strategy Chess Strategy from Wikibooks]</ref>:
# The right to attack belongs to the side that has a positional advantage, which not only has the right to attack, but the obligation to do so, else the advantage will evaporate. The attack should be concentrated on the weakest square in the opponent's position.
# If in an inferior position, the defender should be ready to defend and make compromises, or take other measures, such as a desperate counterattack.
# In an equal position, the opponents should maneuver, trying to achieve a position in which they have an advantage. If both sides play correctly, an equal position will remain equal.
# The advantage may be a big, indivisible one, or it may be a whole series of small advantages. The goal of the stronger side is to store up the advantages, and then to convert temporary advantages into permanent ones.
