L2C 039: The Tao of Chess - Chapter 7 - Material

We return to our Tao of Chess series and discus the next chapter on Material. Of primary importance to you initial improvement as a chess player is taking care of you pieces (and pawns) and capitalizing on the opportunities that your opponent presents. We have heard that 80+% of the games under 1200 Elo are decided by this factor. Even if that is not 100% accurate, it is indicative of the importance of material during a chess game.

Did we get something wrong? Were we remiss in not asking a question or discuss and area you are interested in?
