there is plenty to do!
rooks are strongest when they are doubled on open files or both on the 7th rank - can you hatch a plan that will achieve that?
can you trick your opponent into thinking you are planning to win some pawns on the queenside, when all along you are setting your pieces up to switch to a kingside attack much faster than your opponent can switch his defenders?
Or alternatively can you suck your opponent into attacking kingside so that you can counterattack in the centre?
In other words use your judgement to access what the position requires and form a plan that will achieve a set goal or objective.
Positional judgement is one of a chess players greatest assets and is achieved by calmly weighing up the pro & cons and then coming to a realistic decision.
Easy isn't it!

Chess notes — All eyes this week were on the Corus chess tournament at Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, which had about everything one could hope for: drama, contention, star players, and great chess. The event’s sponsor, Corus, is a steel manufacturing and construction company, which was recently acquired by Tate Steel, India’s second largest privately held company. This corporation is a sponsor of many athletic and cultural events throughout Europe and hopefully will continue this great chess event in future years. The “Corus Line’’ in this tourney included, among its 14 contestants, nearly all of the world’s leading Grandmasters, except for Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria and Levon Aronian of ...

This is where the hard part comes to play... The haqrdest part in chess is formulating a plan... But the plan starts with the opening... That is why one should understand the strengths and weaknesses of various openings, be them closed, open, or semi-open positions...
Send me a private note if you deeply desire to become a class A chess player... I have both the credentials and qualifications for the info you want to know... Please drop me a message...

World's No. 1 Chess Player Widens Lead Over His Biggest Rivals — History will record 1990 as a great year for chess players: it was when three of the current top 25 players in the world were born. The youngest of the three is Magnus Carlsen of Norway, who is No. 1 in the world. Of the other two, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France is No. 18, and Sergey Karjakin, who was born in Ukraine but now plays for Russia, is No. 21. Under different circumstances, Karjakin and Vachier-Lagrave would be considered potential world chess champions. But just as the talented players in the 2003 N.B.A. draft have labored in LeBron James’s shadow, Karjakin and Vachier-Lagrave have been eclipsed by Carlsen. In Karjakin’s case, it is puzzling. He was the youngest ...

Letting your mind thinking "I don't know what to do" will make you play so badly. Of course you know there are many plans to choose, you just need to make up your mind as simply as thinking "Allright, I'll make him desperate by failing all his plans".
Being "blank" without plan will make you be impatient and become careless. If you noticed, it is interesting enough that "patient" is more meaningful to highly rated players than to novices.

Vishy Anand helps Magnus Carlsen to claim Corus crown — When Vishy Anand drew his first nine games at Corus Wijk aan Zee last week, opinions were divided on whether the world chess champion had lost his edge or was simply taking a well-paid rest before his April title defence in Sofia against Veselin Topalov. Then Anand acted as Corus king-maker, beating Alexei Shirov and Vlad Kramnik, so that the pair finished half a point behind Magnus Carlsen. Norway's world No1 had previously won at Pearl Spring in China and the London Classic and finished second at the Tal Memorial, His fine run continued at Wijk, and the live ratings now make him the all-time No2 to Garry Kasparov. Carlsen had final-round luck in Holland, and the impression is that ...
