The First Step of a Grand Strategy

The key is to maintain control of your emotions and plot your moves in advance, seeing the entire chessboard. Hit him directly and he reacts, taking a defensive pose that may allow him to parry your next blow. But if he can't see the point of your strike, or if it misleads him as to where the next one will come from, he is defenceless and blind. Always pay attention to the first step of the campaign. It sets the tempo, determines the enemy's mind set and launches you in a direction that had better be the right one.
