Ramblings and ruminations on chess in SE Wisconsin, the USA and the World

Position or Material?

“Don’t look at chess this way because it is romantic. It is, but look at chess this way because it is the way to win. Contrary to the general notion, a positional advantage — that is, a better disposition of your forces generally — is always easier to exploit than an equivalent advantage in material, even for the weakest player.” ~ C. J. S. Purdy
