Transformation of Advantage

One kind of advantage traded for another: space into a passed pawn, activity into material, an attack into a winning endgame. Recognising when the position changes character is what separates a good position from a won game.

Key ideas

  • Each phase asks for a different plan
  • Trade one advantage for a more permanent one
  • Do not cling to the plan the position has left behind
