How to Win an Equal Position

A very common scenario is reaching a roughly even position where you need to win. This could be when playing a weaker player or when you need a win to get a podium finish, etc. I think that there are 4 important ways that one can try and win equal positions:

1. Sacrificing a pawn for the initiative.
2. Complicating the position as much as possible.
3. Create weaknesses in your opponent's camp.
4. Keep playing, keep pushing, keep trying to win.
