Find the Idea

At first glance, White’s position looks very comfortable:

• White’s pieces are well placed
• There are no immediate threats
• The position is ready for improvement

So instead of looking for tactics, this is a moment to look for a plan.

A Simple Maneuver for White

The idea of Rc2 is simple and effective:

• Bring the rook from c2 to e2
• Place the other rook on e1
• Double rooks on the e-file

Once the rooks are doubled, White increases pressure in the centre and improves coordination.

Follow-Up Piece Improvement

After improving the rooks, White can continue with natural moves:

• Nc6, activating the knight to a strong square
• Bd4, placing the bishop on an active central diagonal

Step by step, White’s pieces become more active, and the position starts to play itself.

This is a great example of positional chess:

• No forcing moves
• No immediate threats
• Just improving piece placement

Good positions are converted into strong positions through clear plans and small improvements.

Key Takeaway

When your position is already good:

• Don’t rush
• Look for ways to improve your worst-placed piece
• Create harmony between your pieces
