智取 is a formal or literary verb meaning 'to capture by strategy or cunning', often used in military or competitive contexts (e.g., wars, battles, chess games). It contrasts with 强攻 ('to take by force') — 智取 emphasizes using intelligence, planning, or deception instead of brute strength. You will see it in historical narratives (like 智取威虎山) and can also use it metaphorically for outsmarting an opponent in business or games.
