Basically, what I've learned, is that the most patient gradual approach towards improving the position (in a positional game) pays off most consistently. Expansive approaches always incur more risk that the dynamics of the position would change and the advantage could even reverse.
@@ashwinkumar26 Absolutely. Squeeze it like a python if possible. The flip side is in time trouble those small positional improvements are so much easier to find in split seconds for you higher rated players than for those of us lower down in rating.
