Intersting points to ponder. I had not much made a point of when in doubt look for piece piece.. will chew on that.
Also i like the injection of the notion that winning is not always improving (or understanding, my objective).

Which i might relate to the when in material advantage seen increase balance attrition toward a known simpler win.

That is something i have been aware, but for some flight of curiosity i have started refraining from that, and looking for less exchangy chess to force myself to understand more of placement nuances, until it become urgent to deal with restriction via number of movers on the board. I relate this to the win on cheapt tricks versus learning something that might have sustainable but possibly longer term rating reward (again i should say that my reward is understanding which often comes before the other reward if ever in my case, so put salt on my comments if that is not your** ambition).

This blog is chess rich. i will spread its study over time.. but I like the punch lines i could see.. I read very fast first, and spot things that surprise me first it seems.. might also have a more critical first pass. but the blog seem good material to ponder however angle we come from. And nice follow up from the "be your baby self at any level" (it is more fun in all outcomes).

There were other points I should look back at. as I may have been taking some of them as ROT in the past, but revisiting them for their underlying reasoning, which you seem to also offer, might be consolidating.

for example. although i am geometrically sold to the center of the board as being the 2x2 region that is the most distant from the rims of the chess board, and its mobilitiy consequences from placement of any mobile unit (see what excluding pawns from pieces make me use as words, the other being men, kind of outdated imagery, sorry for traditions, i have writing hand-ups)...

where was I ? ah yes, even though that above, I saw that you were using graphic language to motivate the chess consequence using the most chessy piece of them all. with its mitigated range and drunk figure of motion. That even with that jumpy mobile unit, notions of 2D space from its placement and maximal board influence is made clear from the center versus the most confined placement in the corner. Good use of contrast. it punches the visual memory... so i guess i might have other things to dig from careful reading, that i might have overlooked while playing chess with those principles in the past. I am kind of on a mission to revise a bunch of assumptions, i find that liberating from the memory load to new things i need to be able to see as I understand more, so cleaning up the long held things i might have absorb a bit too fast in the past because they would get me playing faster, seems a good thing to do once in a while. cleaning the dust from them in my attic.

Also with more reading beyond bird view, i might find explanations in the text, of the same calibre as your diagram choices.

** here being a forum i am not only thinking of blog author as reader, stretching the blog flow back to forum community, no reason we can't use blogs to strengthen mutliway community communication, now that the lobby is prioritizing TV, ladders, and Blogs, and tournament announcements and result, was almost going to forget to mention that. Best of many worlds? forum off-shoots from blogs. Thanks to blog author for offering that bridge.

I disagree with point: Get Your King Into Safety FAST
This is in fact the most common mistake of a beginner. The king is not safe if the opponent castle in the opposite side and it's generating an attack. I will say it differently. Prepare to get your king in safe position on the same side of the opponent.
