Less pressure on the enemy position leaves the opponent more freedom to do as they choose including putting pressure on your position instead being forced to defend. | |

| Apr 29, 2019 at 15:56 | comment | added | David Richerby | @Zuriel Giving up the advantage of playing White doesn't help in either of those cases. | |
| Apr 29, 2019 at 15:50 | comment | added | Zuriel | What if white is happy with a draw game, or if white is playing against a much stronger player? | |
