I'm not quite sure what your asking. If I know who my opponent is, usually in sectionals or matches then I look at his games before the game and decide which opening to play. Once the game is started you just play the position. You can't plan before the game that i'm going to beat him this way, or i'll make this sacifice. You just play your best.

Originally posted by gonzalez70rahimk is right but also there are a lot of GM's and IM's or what ever there called that have plans before the game begins. such as IM (i think hes an im๐)Josh Waitzkin i think his last name is played a man whos name i dont know but his opponent had a plan against josh to control all the dark squares. i dont know why, but i do know he lost. so you have to decide yourself on your plan if you even decide to have one.
Do any of you already have a predetermined course of action you will take before you play an opponent? In other words, do you already know what you are going to do before you play?๐
