What exactly is a initiative in chess?
and what are some examples??
The initiative is the right to move first, which is a small advantage.
At the start of the game white has the initiative and black has to react on what white does.
This is said to be an advantage of 1 tempo.
In the course of the game, white may hold the initiative, may lose it, may trade it for another advantage, or it may pass over to black.
