Just a little practical example of something I often talk about: move order in analysis.
If you have a good idea, try it with a different order of moves: it might be even better!
For example:
[Event "Peter Rooke Semi-Final"] [Site "Teignmouth"] [Date "2013.01.25"] [Round "?"] [White "Amos, J."] [Black "Ariss, John A"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "A20"] [PlyCount "26"] [EventDate "2013.01.25"] [EventType "team-match"] [EventCountry "ENG"] 1. c4 e5 2. g3 f5 3. Bg2 Nf6 4. d3 Bc5 5. Nc3 O-O 6. e3 a6 7. Nge2 Qe8 8. a3 Nc6 9. b4 Ba7 10. Qb3 d6 11. O-O Ne7 12. b5 Rb8 13. a4 a5
Here White piled on the pressure with 14.c5+, soon followed by b5-b6.
Try it the other way around:
[Event "VARIATION"]
[Site "Teignmouth"]
[Date "2013.01.25"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Amos, J."]
[Black "Ariss, John A"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "A20"]
[PlyCount "31"]
[EventDate "2013.01.25"]
[EventType "team-match"]
[EventCountry "ENG"]
1. c4 e5 2. g3 f5 3. Bg2 Nf6 4. d3 Bc5 5. Nc3 O-O 6. e3 a6 7. Nge2 Qe8 8. a3
Nc6 9. b4 Ba7 10. Qb3 d6 11. O-O Ne7 12. b5 Rb8 13. a4 a5
14.b6 cxb6 (14...Bxb6 15.c5+ Qf7 16.Qxf7+ Rxf7 17.cxb6 cxb6 18.Ba3 with an extra piece) 15.Nb5 Ra8 16.Nc7 {winning at least the exchange}
