Chess strategy looks easy once someone highlights all important aspects of a position. Once you know what strengths and weaknesses exist in both positions, it’s easy to come up with a good plan. Figuring out what the key features are, though, is a completely different story. that takes practice, time and patience. I hope today’s test makes you at least a bit better at it!
