re: Rommel Vs Patton

Im not disagreeing with you necessarily but this sort of blitz krieg method has been very successful for not only the German army but the US army in the invasion or Iraq.

There is a time and place for everything no doubt. The Russians were game for war. The Poles and Iraqis were not. Ill let you decide what the French were. Sometimes your opponent just needs a quick punch to make their arse quit. Sometimes they need to be slowly contracted like anaconda. It works both ways in chess too depending on the deployment of pieces and defenses. A sarcrifice and quick attack can win a game while in other games you need to slowly work the position and make small improvements.
