Experienced players create a strategy for their game and they realize the opponent does the same. This strategy should involve a consideration of the opponent (for instance, if the opponent fares well in closed, positional games, open things up), consideration of self (do I fare well in an open game), consideration of current accepted practices (what does current theory say about the line I'm about to play), as well as knowledge beyond current practices (I know an exception to the line that hasn't been considered). While executing the strategy, changes may have to be made from time to time based on how the opponent is executing. Also, tactical shots may result from immediate opportunities (did my opponent just blunder the knight?) that can cause great shifts in strategy. The analogy with chess can go further.
