I'd appreciate some comments on this position, Black to move. It arises from a Caro. The game ended in a draw.
My thoughts during play.
Technical Analysis
-White space = 7 development = 5
-Black space = 14 develpment = 6 with move
Most are probably not familiar with these techniques. They were taught to me by an old master. Space is how many squares you attack beyond the 3rd rank and time is how many moves it would take to get your pieces to their positions.
Advantage Black
However, the centre is semi-fixed and inhibits Black's mobility. I expect White to be able to develop more easily and at least equalize if not gain an advantage.
I played e6 to open it up and use my advantage now. Here's the full game http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=8376336 It does leave me an isolani, but I figured open lines and active pieces would give me chances. My oponent played well and we drew.
Thanks for any insight.
