In this preview of her 3 1/2 hour DVD course on imbalances, FM Alisa Melekhina demonstrates 2 of her games where a minor piece was exchanged for a couple of pawns and positional compensation.

Watch how the positional pluses are strengthened until they becomes overwhelming and the full point is won.

In the rest of the DVD, FM Melekhina clearly explains when to create an imbalance as well as the variety of techniques required so that your forces work together harmoniously in overcoming the opponent.

Knowing when to mix things up and cause a material imbalance and how to accurately assess the positional or time compensation is the hallmark of an advanced player. It is this kind of ability that most average players lack.
