A tactical battle in the Karlsbad structure. I had the initiative and a much stronger position with active pieces but I was still struggling to convert. I kept missing resources and I let my advantage slip multiple times. How do you look for plans in tactical positions in which you’re the one attacking?
That’s something I struggle with a lot. I often lose my advantage and let my opponents survive much worse positions.
