positional problem

i have just been looking at one of my mid-games.

One in-particular.

my pieces are all over the place.

Has anyone been here?

And improved out of it?

any pointers?

I always

remind my pieces

To stay under control

on pain of

execution.

Yes I have. The only advice I can offer is to make sure you have a plan. Once you do, make sure all your pieces play a part in it. One simple plan is when your opponent has a isolated queens pawn, the plan is to control the square in front of the pawn and plant a knight there, onlyy then do you try and win the pawn. After winning it, convert the material advantage into a won endgame.
