Take this position, I encountered it in one of my games, and I can tell I am winning. Blacks pieces have nowhere to go, he has no room to move. What surprised me while looking over my game with Fritz, even though the material is even, I am up 1.94 points, thats almost two pawns....

I understand that I have a strong center, I just can't figure out witch move to go for, what are blacks weak spots I should attack. Any help would be appreciated. The computer suggest Bb3-C2 or Qd1-d3. I thought of this during the game, but figured he could stop my bishop queen attack by moving the g7 pawn...turns out I was wrong lol, he has to move is knight after moving his rook.

The other suggested move is Bc1-e3 (devlopping, but why there?)

I guess my question is what are blacks weak spots, and why Bc1-e3.

 

Thanks.

Thats right go for the king side if black concedes his dark sq bishop you plant a knight on d6

It may be that the biggest problem is your mentality with this position, you're not nearly patient enough.  Black is already in pain and desperate, you don't need to do anything here but finish development and stay active.  If after another 10-15 moves black has somehow not walked into a terrible attack, then you can post the position and tell us you can't figure it out.

Be3 also helps cover the pawn break on c5.

Yes the b1-h7 diagonal is a nice attacking one -- but white doesn't need to find computer/GM level moves to do well here.

If you want something right away, Nfg5 with Qh5 looks fun (piles on f7 and making sacrifice ideas), don't know if it works or anything... but the point is it's easy to maintain this winning position with safe moves instead like development meanwhile black can do nothing.  Why not develop your queen's bishop and double rooks on the f-file before even thinking about anything else? etc

Good point...I underestimated how strong I was, thing is I did not realize I was the equivalent of two pawns up....

I will be more patient. I wanted to own the guy in the middle, although most of his pieces were there, should have went for the king side.  I ended up going Ne4 c3, wanting to move my pawn up... I lost the game making a foolish sacrifice eventually...
