How does one gain positional skill?

Sort:
GooseOnDaLoose

I consider myself a strong-ish tactical player. I tend to be able to identify and utilize tactics when applicable. However, I struggle greatly when it comes to positional problems or positions. I often find myself playing these positions through memory or intuition, rarely through calculation or theory. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some resources, drills, videos etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated

An irrelevant one at best.

#18 ponz111 . Question, how are you on here since 2009 and only showing 9 games in total? That's not even one game a year. Or is this a spare account for talking in the forums
