“Even in the King's Gambit ... White is no longer trying to attack at all costs. He has had to adapt his approach and look for moves with a solid positional foundation ... As often as not, his strategy consists of stifling Black's activity and then winning in an endgame thanks to his superior pawn structure.” TryingLooksMovingWinningBlackWhiteKingsCostActivityApproachFoundationStrategyStructureChessSuperiorsOpeningThanksPawnsEndgameStiflingGambit Author:Neil McDonald

“I have learned a new form of service from the wars of Frederick, king of Prussia. It is not necessary to approach the enemy in order to attack him. In fleeing from him, it is possible to circumvent him as he advances and fall on him from the rear and force him to surrender. What is needed is not to strike straight at evil but to withdraw to the sources of divine power, and from there to circle around evil, bend it and transform it into its opposite.” WarFormOrderFallEvilForceEnemyDivineSourceKingsNeededApproachOppositesStrikesCirclesSurrenderI Have LearnedFleeingDivine PowerPrussia Book:Ten Rungs: Collected Hasidic Sayings Source: Ten Rungs: Collected Hasidic Sayings
