is there a best Strategy?

i intend to spark debait if you think my question is naive.

i find myself conservative at chess right now, as i was quickly tamed by defensive power in my attacking days(!)

so all i want right now is:

1:if i must open, use middle control(pawns) as white.(not experinced with black)

2:get that king the he** out of there(if there is any threat), i prefer castling and am starting to take attacks on a pawn only the king is guarding more seriously.

3:defence.possibly higher priority than 2 at times.

4:exploit blunders.

5: in the end i just wanted more queens... probably won't come to that if there is a real fight though, unfortunately...

what do you think of that? is there a better strategy??

To know this you must know yourself, what is your weak and strong sides (in chess)

And if you know your opponent, you could chose the "best" opening against that opponent, one that gives you a middlegame that you probably know better than your opponent.

I think it was Morozevich who said that there is only one strategy: "the winning one"

What happened?

Part of the problem is that he has not played enough; the Pamplona tournament was his first in six months. But Morozevich also has had a penchant for playing offbeat or even inferior openings. That strategy is successful against second-tier opponents, but not against the best. And over the years, Morozevich has been inconsistent against other top players.
