| Jul 8, 2015 at 20:51 | comment | added | magd | I think of positional play as something which happens on average. Eg on average it is a good idea to move a knight to an outpost e5 square or put a rook on the seventh. The more you understand what happens on average the better your positional play is. Opening theory is something which allows you to manipulate these averages to a certain extent by playing openings which allow a knight to e5, eg the QGD. Tactics and calculation is something which is needed to work out what is happening in the specific position on the board. eg this fork of rook and king is more important than the Knight on e5. | |
