Difference between Tactics & Strategy (in this game)

Hello everyone

I am a low level amateur but nevertheless interested in the difference between tactics and strategy which I do not really understand, I think. So I'd like to ask if I get it right and would like to refer to one of my games because I think this would help me best to understand. This is the game, I play black:

a) After 4.Ng5 I play 4...d5 hoping it leads to 8...Nb4, which it did. Is this tactics or strategy? (Not regarding the question whether my intention is good or bad play...)
[edit: I mean: I expected with high probability that all the moves leading to 8...Nb4 will be played.]

b) With 29...Bh3 I try to begin putting pressure to white's king. This is strategy, isn't it?

c) After 33.Kg2 I see mate with rook on h1. This is tactics, isn't it?

d) If someone finds other examples in this game for tactics or strategy, I would be very happy and grateful.

Thank you in advance for reading this post and for your answers!

The Fried Liver is an ancient opening. White's strategy is to get Black's king out into the open by sacrificing a piece. Tactics become even more important than usual (due to the piece deficit).

Later on, since you're a piece up your strategy should be to trade off pieces and simplify, so that your extra piece looms larger and larger. And no, I wouldn't say that there is anything particularly "strategic" about 29... Bh3; however, the Rh1# was indeed a tactical idea. :)

Strategy is a vague term for wanting to kick someone's ass at a game. You mean a combination of moves that lead to your advantage. Lets talk about the four freedoms in order of importance.

1. Position
2. Material
3. Time
4. Space

These are the four elements that rule games.

In your final position material is equal. White has more space. Tempo is about the same.

You are best in the category that counts. You have a mating position. You want to utilize the four freedoms optimally in your games.

Wow, who knew FDR was a GM?

Thank you both for your helpfulf answers! I am going to think about what you told me.

a) Tactic (all that is about Fried Liver Attack, Black can repel by knowing theory)

b) Tactic (It isn't sort of 'strategy'. As per me strategy would be defined as moves that leads to execution of well made planning by a player on their opponent. Here, White is pretty down and lost, Bh3 further forces g2 and then Bishop can come on f3. Pretty forced, white can't prevent Black from Bf3 later)

c) Tactic (When you find forced mate in moves that actually happens correctly, it is certainly tactic)

d) 12. d3 is terrible mistake by White. Game is in outskirts of Fried Liver and White should have protected that crucial Bishop instead. White forgot that it was behind a knight but positionally strong. A strategical error.

15. Ke7 was a strategical error. After having advantage (by capturing crucial White Bishop) Black lost and brought game back to equality. It was better to play Kf7 Qf6 Nxc3 bxc3 and Black has Bishop vs 2 pawns plus positional advantage.

19. Bg5 was Tactic error by White. It overlooked a potential threat of Bh3 plus Black can simplify by exchanging Knights in meantime.

23. b4 was tactical error by White. It didn't pay attention to pin and should have played instead f3 to exploit the pin and win Black pawn and game is equal.

Attempting to make these sorts of distinctions isn't necessarily going to be helpful to your game though. After all, to an engine most everything is tactical. ;)

That's why Teichmann said, "Chess is 99% tactics"
