  • Seizing The Middle

“To control the game, one tries to control as much of the board as possible. At the outset, using your pieces to seize the middle of the playing field is a great strategy, because it gives you the widest possible vantage point from which to control the movement of the other pieces.”

  • Getting the Goalpost to Stop Moving

“There are two ways to debate a position: Asking whether it’s true and asking whether it’s contextually complete.”
