On what basis do you say that? It varies from game to game.

Interesting... I've never heard anyone else talk about strengths and weaknesses in terms of squares on the board. Why do you say that the area around d5 is your strength?

I looked at all of my games against strong opponents. Most of my wins and draws center on whether I control the d5 square. Sometimes I control d5 and lose the game, but in general, if I control d5, I will win or draw the game. So that's my strongest area. 

I was just wondering what other players have observed in their games.
