Ramblings and ruminations on chess in Milwaukee,

SE Wisconsin, theUSA and the World.

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.

Pehnec-Martz 1965

Exchange Grunfeld. Uncannily similar to the prior game, white again hands black a positional advantage in the opening, then misses his best opportunity to hold on to the game, eventually losing on time.
