Kasparov's principle of Material vs. Quality vs. Time · Road to GM, Game 200

Knowing when material is less important than building an initiative or an attack is something all strong players have in common.

Tomic (1942) - Klobucar (2173)
French, Tarrasch
I A Liga, Round 3

In round 3 I played a 200 points stronger opponent in the Tarrasch French. I was quickly given the opportunity to give up a pawn for an attack, and for developing a strong initiative. I declined it. Instead, I kept my pawn, and, as a result, had worse pieces, a less safe king, and a simply bad position. Learn from this.
