I know many players (I've played with them some times) whose plan is not to do anything but wait until the opponent makes a mistake. Even that is a plan, IMO; the plan of "not doing anything hoping that the opponet blunders". Even if you play a random move, you can say "my plan is playing random moves". Absurd, but possible. Computers don't plan, because the verb "plan" implies a decision. And a decision implies freedom to make it. Computers just follow the way their algorithm tells them to follow. There's no decision there, at least, in the sense a free being can make. José C.
