In a practical over the board game it is of great importance to play sufficiently quick and also to play with confidence. It pays off to have some knowledge of the opening of course so as to be able to play it with the wind in the sails and also have a feel for the more critcal phases of the game when you really need your time to think. At the same time you have the responsibility - playing white - to make a fist against the black position, and - playing black - to try and equalize, while having some positive imbalance of your own to build on.
