My ideology when playing chess is: "Assume that you are playing against the perfect engine that always makes the best move". This way your play is based solely on what's on the board and not on some subjective irrelevant factors, like "What if he doesn't figure out my plan and doesn't counter it in time?"

that is very true, the narrow path of direct motive only leads to defeat

Explain how being able to out-calculate your opponent is a fluke? If you lack strategical understanding then why battle on that stage?

Was Kasparov going to beat Karpov by consistently out positioning him?

Maybe a better term than making complications is to create counter chances or counter play.

I'm not saying that out calculating your opponent is a fluke, far from it, I'm saying that when calculating you have to factor in refutations. I used exaggeration to get a distinctive point across in a simple fashion. you lack literary understanding. if you have something to say, use evidence and come up with a reason as to why I'm wrong. If you lack the basic skills for comprehension and application, then please ask for help with interpretation, thank you for responding with your idea, kind sir, thank you so much.

I guess Tal becoming world champion was fluke as well then?

I did not expect the commentary to be filled with such absurdities. Again, has I said before, I used exaggeration for a simple but misunderstood concept, to get my point across in a promulgative but suggestive fashion. I'm sorry I don't have time to write a book, but apparently some presumptuous people, like yourself, need a simpler rejoinder.

sorry? wut? did my my commentary on premisary standards for calculation somehow impede on your life? Am I making life 'hard' for such an advanced specimen like you? I warned at the start that it was for beginners, if you didn't read the description, that's your fault. something tells me you're the kind of person who never reads the directions, the logic being how smart they are, just too smart for any kind of regard to content and purpose aren't ya?

All I'm saying is that beginners should find the inconveniences in the wider plan (like attacking on the queenside), and then peg down a plan that conforms to the position, as opposed to seeing three squares inbeetween the king & queen and then moving their knight six times to go for a royal fork. sorry for the frustration in my earlier reply. My idea may have been vaguely worded. Admittedly it was not well versed and I kind of threw it out ther, all caution to the wind on possible misconstrued perceptions of what the intrinsic idea really was. Again, sorry about that. I will verse any ideas in a more relatable way in the future. Cheers

I don't agree with the "assume you're playing a perfect engine" advice.

If you are playing a perfect engine with the goal of drawing or even winning you should ALWAYS avoid complications where you can be out calculated. However against a human opponent, if you are confident in your ability or need a win, or are losing strategically etc etc it is a great idea to make the position messy and attempt to navigate it better than your opponent.

That seems like much more relatable and applicable advice, I'm going to side with you on that one.

I like the satirical way you express, but the notion that advice that you find 'dumb', somehow impedes on your life and makes living harder is absurd. I don't side with your complaint. Unless I was too vague and didn't relate to chess jargon well enough, then I don't see the inconvenience. The idea that it was to 'dumb' for your genius is a very selfish approach.

There have been some misconceptions, and I apologize in advance for any more that might occur. To specify the overall concept. - You should look at the overall logistics of the game and then peg down the best move from there. Relative to investors who use the 'top down approach', they look at macroeconomics, microeconomics, managerial economics, and then business, like the balance sheets and what not. I am suggesting the top down approach in chess to find moves that are worth analysis. Not a difficult concept, you might agree, but I think it's helpful to get a solid premise as well as inherent strategical understanding.
