Hi, my name is John Foster and I would like to discuss a promblem that has seemed to confuse many people. Most of us are at least the intermediate level now so we should understand that points do not matter. They are just a simple reminder of what piecies we lost. So this introduces my subject. Taking as many ponds at the beginning of the game is one of the utter most foolish things you can do. Get set up first. What ever opening you're using, always do the opening if your struct with the choice of taking a pond over having a chance to get positioned correctly. If you choose the pond, you miss out on a great chance to position yourself for checkmate. Plus what are the chances of making a pawn promotion in the beginning or even middle of the game? Here is a simple example  of how someone could pay for being a pawn eater.
