Test Your Skills on Positional Chess: Part 1
It’s always extremely important and instructive to follow positional principles in chess. Below I’ve presented a number of chess puzzles. Please keep in mind that these puzzles aren’t like usual tactical puzzles, and so you should not look for a killing/tactical blow.
