[How to Use a Time Advantage]
How To Use A
Time Advantage
In the above clip, White is clearly better developed than Black, by a Space Count majority of 13:2.
White clearly has the Time Advantage, particularly on the Kingside, which MUST be exploited immediately, to prevent Black from marshalling more troops into that area and reinforcing what is currently a pretty shoddy position.
Alas, as you'll have seen, White is able to exploit his advantage, capitalize on Black's weaknesses and overwhelm Black to the point of victory - the ULTIMATE gain!
Even with a couple of deliberate sacrifices, which deflect key personnel away from their defensive positions, in order to open up a diagonal channel to Black's King, White's superior development and overall deployment of troops is too much for Black to cope.
If Your Development Has
Gained A Time Advantage
As soon as the advantage in Time is realized, YOUR OBJECTIVE is to:
exploit the gain, as much as possible!."
