There are a tonne of tactical training guides on this site or all over the Internet. They give pretty good generic advice for mid game scenarios. I would say try to have your pieces all working together, aim to control the centre of the board and try to keep your pawns grouped together so they don't get picked off in isolated positions. Apart from that try to get your rooks in control of open files and pay a lot of attention to what your opponent is trying to do with their moves so you don't walk into any serious blunders. Discovered attacks and sacrifices are also great if you can think them through properly

Knight could just move back to a3 if he played a5 then it becomes quite threatening

snoop_lion

Or he could just play a3 and he has the threat of either winning those pawns using his knight or winning back material by taking the pawn on the d file

So are you asking or answering?  Doesn't sound like you're clueless.

snoop_lion

Exon was asking I was answering lol

waffllemaster

Oh, somehow I didn't notice this was page 2 lol

Surprised

snoop_lion

Lol :D page 1 has the position we were talking about

erikido23

what about n-e5?  If b5 a nice little shot is cxb nxe5 b6 +and if b-d7 bxc7 threatening to take the rook queening.  

 

If b-d7 then simply take the bishop and play f5 with a good position.  A lead in development.   The bishop pair and open lines

erikido23

oh just noticed...q-d7 instead of b-d7 ruins my idea-although after b5 axb nxe5 then simply fxe5 is probably still good for you

snoop_lion

Ne5 does put you down a pawn though and centralises his queen. Probably not worth it for a bishop that's already pretty inactive. I recon if your moving the knight g5 is the spot, threatens his white square bishop and threatens to screw up his pawn structure if he doesn't move it or pile on defenders

waffllemaster

b4 right away doesn't look bad.  Otherwise I'd want to do some combination of the moves to prepare it Qd1 (Qc1) Nc2 b4.

Ng5 (or e5) feels like playing with the good pieces.  The position's too closed and white too unorganized to develop any kind of initiative.  I'd want my plan to take into account my crappy a3 knight and e2 bishop as well as the queen on the edge.  Also opening lines seems correct because of lead in development.

So either reorganize or b4 right away I think.

snoop_lion

Ng5 opens the way for pawn advance on the f file afterwards though. Otherwise knight comes out king castles and the pieces get to develop while you sort out the left flank to make a workable attack

waffllemaster

I like the idea of f5, and actually Ne5 (and Ng5) doesn't look so bad.  I just get very uncomfortable starting action (even if his kingside is not developed) when half my pieces seem to be marooned on the queenside.

In fact I'd like f5 as a pawn sac right away if the pieces were developed in a standard way.  b4 makes me feel better about all the moves I apparently spent on getting my queenside going.

snoop_lion

B4 you go down a pawn or down a rook if computer plays it right. Needs setting up before it can be played effectively but I think by that time the king would have castled

erikido23

n-e5 does not lose a pawn...the a and b pawns and traded for the a and f pawns if I am not mistaken.  

 

Also the queen is centralised.  But, only for one move.  I see bad things happening such as b-f4 and well the queen can't go anwhere.

erikido23

Yeah, I really wanted to play f5 when I first looked at the position.  But, it just doesn't seem quite right yet

snoop_lion

Damn just looked at knight e5 again I'm liking it more and more. Completely overlooked that the rook would cover the bishop's attack if the queen were to take the pawn after

waffllemaster

Down a pawn or rook?  If 1...cxb4 white can recapture with either the rook or bishop.  If 1...b5 then capture twice and win the c5 pawn or just 2.Qxa6.  I don't see how white loses a pawn much less a rook.

I feel like white's uneven development offsets black's lack of development in this closed position.  I like white better, sure, but I'm not looking for a win.  I don't mind rearranging and letting him develop to be honest :p

snoop_lion

What he said lol

mh right now i dont like b4 anymore since it would go: b2-b4, c5xb4, Rb1xb4 (since bd2 cant x him because he is saving the pawn at f4), than b7-b5+ after that his knight isnt pinned anymore so he can freely take my rook and also my queen is in attack.
