Study Chess strategy. If you crush your opponent strategically, it is easier to create unstoppable tactics that may win material by force.

Except those tactics are so complicated that only an engine will find most of them EXCEPT if you build them into an opening repertoire you never change. It's why I like the Philadelphia System: I play it every time and each time I learn more tactical patterns that I know will arise in my games instead of being ambushed by my opponent's engine-enhanced specialty opening.
