A positional move is when when you play something to improve the static nature of your position. This means improving pawn structure, setting outposts for your knight, overprotecting a pawn, grabbing space, etc.
Quick question:
What is meant by the term "positional" chess? What exactly is it and, if possible, can people provide an example of it?
I thought ALL chess was positional. lol.
But when I read chess bios I often see people called "positional" players (I've seen GM Karpov called this, for example).
TVM for the help.
