In balanced positions, judgement and the selection of a plan assume greater importance than in positions where one side has the advan­ tage, and here mistakes more often occur. It is precisely in such positions that a player's class shows itself, his positional understanding and manoeuvering abil­ ity, his technique. Since an equal position cannot be changed without a mistake or inaccuracy from one player, each must try to play like a machine. But this is impossible, and so an equal position will be won by the player who commits fewer mistakes - in other words, by the classier player.
