How to Beat Stronger Chess Players: Part 1

Thank you for your article IM Gedajlovic!
I have just got a small improvement in my lichess results by switching from tactical play to positional play - from 1.e4 to 1. d4. In addition I have switched direct attacking play to counterplay! As black I am playing the Nimzo-Indian defence - most opponents are not avoiding it - if they do I might have to transpose to the Queens Gambit Declined (a more difficult opening).
I think chess may reside in following one's innate gifts - you are probably a natural tactician.
God Bless!
