But it is about the same two elements.Phaedrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722871435264243318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-5139204262069832402010-03-03T19:29:32.097+01:002010-03-03T19:29:32.097+01:00IMHO to understand positional chess two elements s...IMHO to understand positional chess two elements suffice:<br />1 activity;<br />2 vulnerability.<br /><br />A move cannot be good if it does not increase the activity of your pieces or decrease their vulnerability. This applies to all stages of the game and even to tactics. In a way it is the ultimate coat hanger.Phaedrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393639592979349429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-54276444102475271162010-03-02T11:11:21.223+01:002010-03-02T11:11:21.223+01:00In positional chess a piece has a role and accordi...In positional chess a piece has a role and according my ICS course this is the list (graded from worst to best) is:<br />- piece out of play<br />- piece that only has a defending role<br />- piece that only has an atacking role<br />- piece that is aswel defending as attacking<br /><br />So yes, where you put your pieces is very important. :-)<br /><br />I am not sure what you mean by colorcomplex, can you explain it a bit more?<br /><br />What is with this outpost and pawns? For a square to be an outpost i dont think there doesn't even have to be a pawn (that needs to be blocked) around. Or maybe an outpost is something else for me then for you? For me an outpost is where a piece of your own troops can be safely placed close or deeply into enemy territory without the enemy is able to chase it away without doing dammage to his own troops/position.From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.com
