I'm not yet at the 20-game mark, but I've already learned something: I SUCK at games where the board is cluttered. I'm much better when the board is open, and I have room to be creative. This is a recent game I lost, where the board looked like this at one point:
[fen]r1bqk2r/4ppb1/p2p1np1/1ppPn3/P3PN2/1PNB1P1p/2PBQ1PP/R4RK1[/fen]
Any advise on the be ...[text shortened]... play when the board is like this? And what's the best way to prevent this type of position?
There is no whining in chess except in The Clans Forum.
