How do you find a good move in calm positions where there are no "obvious" moves to play?

2200? Give me a break. I highly doubt anyone here ever got to 2200 or even 2000 - though maybe some of the actual helpful non-troll people like Nerwal did.    

Where to put the rooks in the opening - we're talking 1400 level material here. 

Daily chess doesn't count. "equivalent" doesn't count, neither do all these other excuses.  

I think the both of you are good enough for each other to be honest. 

Anyone that is "a lot stronger than 2200" is at least an FM and probably an IM or (struggling not to laugh) GM. You'd be at the book-writing level. Yet 69AlphaMale109 makes bizarrely ignorant statements like strong players not needing to study theory or claiming he came up with 11. Ng5 in the Open independently of Karpov, some joke. 

You gave yourself away with those comments pal, there is no going back from them, no takebacks, no becoming a believable high rated fictional character. Meanwhile you didn't offer the slightest real contribution or analysis like an actually good player would (hate to give you tips for future trolling attempts but I'm just establishing it for any onlookers here).    

Maybe in Malawi Chess Federation perhaps they have yahoo-style chess ratings you may have over 2200, nowhere in the real world.   

This is all you need to know....

I see lot's of tension in the game. But there is a subtly to the tension. That being said, you should go through "Reassess Your Chess" by Jeremy Silman.. Understanding imbalances in a chess position would help you a lot. 

Every imbalance in a game, every strong point or weakness in a position creates tension. 

good one!

I've just gone through Yasser Seirawan's Play Winning Chess book, as you recommend to start with on your blog. My first impression was that it was a bit basic, but as i kept going i discovered that there were a lot of useful information that definitely improved my positional understanding, importance of space and pawn play! For instance, i didn't knew until now that there was a way to actually calculate which side has a space advantage. The principles that the author teaches in this book was explained with simplicity and clarity, just how i like it. 

Can't wait to put my improved decision-making skills to the test in my next tournament game  I will go through more books from your recommendation list as time permits.
