Hey all, this is my first post on lichess. I am a fairly new chess hobbyist, I've only been actively playing for about 6 months or so now.
I've found that I have a decent understanding of how to develop pieces in a smart way and I am okay at creating a pawn structure in sync with piece development, but I feel like I have a really poor understanding of how to create strong positions on the board. I know the basics of gaining quick control of the center and positioning rooks on open files, but in general I just dont feel like I understand how else to create and maintain a strong position through the other pieces and with pawns.
Can anyone recommend me a book (or other resource) that focuses on this aspect of the game in detail?
