Initiative is the ability to create threats that compel your opponent to react, often preventing them from executing their own plans. It's about taking control of the game, making moves that force your opponent to respond defensively, and maintaining that pressure.

What is the initiative? I saw this definition:"ability to create threats can not be ignored" . But I don't understand the word "ability" does it mean just create threats or the potential to create threats(like more active piece also a factor to create threats easier) or initiative is threat? I don't actually understand.
