An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Pound of Cure

One of the best ways to prevent your pieces from being poorly placed is knowing your plan before the game starts.

When you know what your middlegame strategy is, it’s easier to make advantageous exchanges. You will also understand what prophylactic moves to play to prevent your opponent from exchanging your key pieces.

Take a look at the following position. This position can arise in the Panov Attack in the Caro Kann Defense.

White is playing with an isolated queen pawn. One of his most valuable pieces is the light-squared bishop. To protect this piece, White plays a3 to prevent …Nb4.

Know Your Opponent’s Plan

When studying specific positions and chess strategy basics, you must learn your plans and know your opponent’s likely plans.

After all, if you only know your plans, you only know half of what is taking place. As a result, you will find yourself reacting to your opponent during the game instead of forcing him to misplace his pieces.

In any position, you and your opponent are trying to do the same thing. Both of you are trying to use your advantages against your opponent’s weaknesses.

A poorly placed piece is a weakness. This could be a long-term weakness or a temporary weakness.
