It never ceases to amaze me that you can find chess advice being offered at the strangest places. The following article, advising players to use 36 ancient Asian strategies of warfare in your game, came from a vitamin website! :laugh:

Win More Chess Games Using the Ancient 36 Strategies
Chess is a game of substitute war, so you will win more chess games by taking advantage of the ancient wisdom distilled from the art of military strategies. This includes a collection of strategies compiled in China at least 1,500 years ago.
These strategies are taught to school children all over China, Japan and probably much of the rest of Asia even today.
If you think Chinese children learn the 36 Strategies as "classic literature" the same way American children must read Mark Twain . . . you are too foolish and naive to be allowed near a serious chess tournament....
