| May 13, 2019 at 20:53 | comment | added | MrMaxPayne | Thank you all for you insights it was very helpful. My takeaway is that my position was quite stable and black can't disrupt it without some serious weaknesses on his side. In other words releasing the tension was unnecessary, I would even say it was in blacks favor helping him to improve his position. | |

| May 13, 2019 at 17:01 | comment | added | Scounged | In these situations I like to ask myself: "How obvious is it that [given move] is good?" Nxe6 is not at all obviously good, while Rad1 is obviously a good move, in the sense that it completes your development by activating your last piece. | |
| May 13, 2019 at 16:41 | comment | added | Acccumulation | "The knight outpost is appealing but it can be kicked with c5" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outpost_(chess) "An outpost is a square on the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh rank which is protected by a pawn and which cannot be attacked by an opponent's pawn" d4 satisfies only one of the three conditions. If it can be kicked off by a pawn, it's not a knight outpost, it's just a knight. | |
