is my chess strategy sound...?

step 1 put a pawn or two in the middle
step 2 develop all my pieces
step 3 castle
step 4 aim all my pieces at their king
step 5 accept grandmaster title 🙂

or am I a little too simplistic?

Step 6 develop bad habits.
Step 7 let bad habits take over
Step 8 madness and rehab

Step 9 Seek solace in strong drink.
Step 10 Become a 'chess bum'.
