6. The Opening
“The purpose of the opening isn't just to get
through it, it's to set the stage for the type of
middle game you want. This can also mean
manoeuvring for the type of game your opponent
doesn't want”
Garry Kasparov, How Life Imitates Chess

10. The End Game
“The strategist starts with a goal in the distant future
and works backwards to the present. A
Grandmaster makes the best moves because they
are based on what he wants the board to look like
ten or twenty moves in the future... Then he works
out the step-by-step moves to accomplish those
aims”
