In the last episodes, we discussed various aspects related to an advantage in development. We looked at typical mistakes that can give the opponent a lead in development and we looked at ways to keep the initiative if you have an advantage in development. We saw how important it is to play as actively as possible and to try to keep the opponent's pieces passive.
By studying famous examples, I found that "keeping the opponent busy" is an important weapon. Working with (small) threats does not allow your opponent to catch his breath and to develop his pieces.
In this show I would like to present two of my own games, in which I managed (in - I would say - a nice way) to keep my opponent busy and to disrupt his development.
In the diagram position, I was playing with Black and had managed reasonably well to prevent White from developing his queenside. But now White seems to have survived the storm – at least, on first sight. But I had a nice continuation in mind to exploit White's lack of development. Do you see how Black can best proceed here?
