Chess

The TacticianMeso + Macro

Theoretically pure macro, but at the human level you optimize for a specific opponent's habits, a big meso component.

Where it sits

How strongly Chess leans on each of the three dimensions.

micro

Low

Execution is barely a factor in Chess: a tool that played your inputs perfectly would gain you almost nothing here.

meso

Medium

There is a reading layer in Chess, some bluffing and some randomness to manage, but it is not the dominant test.

macro

High

Strategy carries Chess: routing, resource management, and optimal decisions decide the outcome. What would break it is a perfect coach or engine calling the best move.
