Personally, I would say that the objective should always be defined before the first shot is fired. Meaning "I want him to drop this and go away forever and never bring it up again"

The your strategy and tactics are formulated accordingly and become well thought out chess moves against an unskilled and unprepared player, who's lost before he made his next move.

Meeting aggression with aggression (unless its overwhelming and game ending) is simply going to cause a more aggressive response and it all then turns into a contest of wills rather than you maneuvering a person into checkmate to suit your purpose.

I'm a fairly introverted person, but when I'm threatened, I instantly go into chess master mode - thinking about the opponent, the exchange, where he wants it to go an where I want it to go and then plan and execute accordingly
