Space - Deepstash

Space

Space is created by the expansion of pawns, the territory behind the most advanced pawn.

Side with less space is passive.

Playing for superior minor piece can be a useful for space gain.

Side with more space should avoid unnecessary exchanges.

To play against opponent's space advantage

  • Exchange pieces
  • Use pawn breaks
  • Find weak squares created by pawn moves
  • Space gaining enemy pawn is the target
  • Don't wait until opponent grows the center
  • Create space in other sector of the board

When center is closed, play has to be on the wings.

Play on the side where you have more space or pawn chain point to.
