Against good players, like in chess, you need, except in rushing games, a lot of little tricks to gain and build up an advantage.
So here here are some for use:

trick1 (from Tutenchamun)
When you start with more then one surveyor, you like to post them, as any other unit, as near its optimal square as you can. Look at the attached picture below to get the connection between the startmenu-number and its correlated square.
You would like to have e.g. the second surveyor as number 5 or 9.

trick2
I play a game against an opponent, who will have to updated his stationary defense, when I attacked to meet my force in a optimized way, like getting the attack value 5 points higher to kill a bomber in 2 shoots et cetera.
What I do is, I fly in with mark VII models first. I see him acctually upgrading his units just in the way to meet me economical, saving the rest of his gold for his own plans. After that happens, I fly in with my main fleet of mark VIII bombers. So I force him to update his units twice!

trick3
When you attack with tanks, put some ACPs into the army to catch enemy fire. Like attacking with submarines, your light-plants can in this way support the output of your heavies or shipyards.
