This is just an example position from the game.
My question is: Most of this game, the only really important feature of the
positions is the only open line, the d-line. White possesses this line most of
the game, and in a game where nothing else seems important, I would think that
controlling this line would be an important advantage. But is it enough to win?
What is the correct plan to follow? Is there some sort of basic positional
knowledge that Chezzz seem to lack that is relevant in positions such as these?
I'm sure there are probably more than a few tactical errors on both sides in
this game. I was just amazed to see that what I thought was white dominance
turned into nothing.
