Hi,
There is something I am struggling to understand:
Especially in blitz people sack pieces for pawns to attack. Which is a good practical decision: You have the initiative and with low time for your opponent it is hard to defend.
I am more a positional player than an attacker and what I try to do first of all is not dying ;) I especially like to exchange queens but in the end I often have this kind of situation where I am lost.
I have 4 pawns let's say one Bishop and 2 Rooks and my opponent 1 rook 1 bishop and 6 or 7 pawns.
I have no clue here. Because if I want to traid everything I will have 1 rook vs 2 or 3 pawns. OK depending on the position of the pawns it can be a easy win or and easy lose.
The thing is my opponents shuffle a lot there pieces and keep the tension. They play well :) and of course push their damm passed pawns...
So to conclude to me it is logical to not die and try to survive but how to prove and advantage when you have a piece up against 2 or 3 pawns.
I will link a game I recently played
