The hart of positional play
I read many books about positional play. I acquired many dots without being able to connect them. I didn't find books that are helpful. Two weeks ago I had another look at the dots, and finally it started to dawn on me what it is all about. Positional play is about pawns and exchanges. Why? Because pawn moves and exchanges are irreversible. You can only build long term plans around things that are irreversible. Now I'm trying to build a consistent framework from here. It is quite exciting! I even won my first positional game! I didn't know I could do that.
