| Aug 19, 2014 at 19:42 | comment | added | David Richerby | Are you sure the positions you're losing from are as good as you think they are? Maybe the reason you keep losing from these "decent, even winning" positions is that they're not such good positions after all. | |

| Aug 19, 2014 at 17:07 | comment | added | Tomislav Dyulgerov | Yes, I agree, the two are quite different. The thing is I would like to improve both aspects of my game. That's why I mentioned prophylaxis as a term, which could potentialy lead to better defense. | |
| Aug 19, 2014 at 14:56 | comment | added | Henry Keiter | Personally, I think there's a rather significant difference between defense and prophylaxis: the former implies actively defending against the opponent's aggression, whereas the latter is characterized by denying your opponent the ability to attack at all! Of course, some of the best defensive minds were also great prophylactics (e.g. Petrosian), but the two characteristics are distinct. | |

| Aug 19, 2014 at 11:59 | comment | added | JiK | By "How to deal with the psychological pressure of having a great position and having it collapse over the next few moves?" do you mean "what to think when your position has just collapsed" or "what to think to make sure your position does not to collapse over the next few moves"? | |
