Meaning of Strategical Factor(Strategy)

Strategy(Pronounced Stra-te-jee) is a factor that actually affects tactical resources.It is a source of tactics.

Strategy in Engines

Engines make a move that is a mistake.But instead of human blunders,they tend to make strategical errors.

For example in Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition,Larry Christiansen beated a Chessmaster type of Engine.It was CM9k (You know the meaning of CM and 9k)and it was now called CM grandmaster edition.

My advice is also strange: do not trust some moves of engines! But engines are actually very strong,so still trust them. So you say that Traxler is bad? No! Because chess engines tend to oversight positional factors,but not strategical! If you say that Bxf7+ is the refutation of Traxler,why Anand loses from it? That's because of strategy! Then Ke7,Rf8,d6,and Qe8 is comfortable for black!
