Hi, 

I’m having a difficult time to convert my advantage through the middlegame, mostly due to blunders but also due to my inability to synchronize my attacking pieces.

Thanks for the inputs

bring your pieces to better squares and think about what ur opponent wants and stop it

let's see a few specific examples?

It all depends on the opening that you've chosen that changes the middlegame dynamic

For example:

In this Sicilian, play will usually continue with white castling long and then both sides will try to pawn storm, white with g4 h4 h5, black with a6 b5 b4 a5 etc. Black will also try to bring his rook to the open C file and White will try to trade the strong Fianchettoed bishop on g7

 
In this French Defense Line, black sacrifices a pawn to open lines and to make white's position miserable. White obviously has the material advantage. Black will try to play d4 and destroy the center white white will try to survive the attack and use his pawn majority to win the endgame


So it all depends on the opening you play i'd say

Put your rooks on open files or behind pawns you want to push, don't lock your bishops behind your pawns, put your knights on active squares, use your pawns to prevent their pieces/pawns from moving forward, etc.

Lol the only one I've played a lot before is the Italian so I'll give you some examples for that I guess (Open games are hard to predict but I'll try my best)

*cough* If someone else could do some stuff for the other openings he plays that I don't *cough*

The g3 knight move looks great ! 

DasBurner

yeah I've never truly understood it myself because I only played 4. d4 but I'm sure someone else can add insight to that
