"Chess is a game of dramatic possibility. Within a few moves, the number of potential positions is in the millions. Soon, there are more permutations than a human could count in a lifetime. This is well known; you sometimes hear that there are more chess moves than molecules in the universe. Still, it always surprises me. Even when players follow theory 20 moves deep, chances are that at some point, someone will make a new move.... Novelty is not the point here. Nor is it likely a new strategic philosophy. The same double helix of logic -- move connected to countermove -- has been encoded in games for hundreds of years. But inevitably, a mutation appears." Continue reading here: Link

"Let's tackle the problem of how to think in chess. The topic is not as ridiculous as it sounds. What I'm really talking about is a static and general mode of thinking vs. a dynamic and specific one. Players in the 1600-2000 skill range have generally mastered the strategic fundamentals of openings, middlegames, and endgames and are aware of these principles during their games. ... However, the problem that plagues many players at this level and prevents them from improving further is that they think only in terms of these general principles. Listen to a postmortem between two class players after a tournament game. You will hear many generalities, e.g. 'Well I thought if I put my knight in the center, it will later be useful in an attack.''Yes, but I thought if I saddle you with an isolated pawn, I can take advantage of it in the endgame.' The discussion consists almost entirely of general ideas that apply in any position. Do you see what's missing from the analysis? Specific lines. In contrast, listen to two masters analyzing, and you will hear both of them spouting moves and variations. It's not that general principles don't apply beyond a certain level; it's that stronger players apply these principles according to the specific needs of the position."
