Everyone is keen on attacking and creating beautiful combinations, but very few are enchanted by the genuine beauty of subtle positional manoeuvre and profound strategic plans.
The art of positional play is not duly appreciated by the rank-and-file, who often fail to understand why grand masters are so good in carrying out beautiful and effective attacks. Many amateurs can solve, no worse than well-known masters, problems and studies. And only upon plunging seriously into the intricacies of the game, do they realize that the opportunities for the proper attacks and combinations are not, as a rule, spontaneous, but they result from positional play based on the observance of the laws of the chess strategy.
Therefore, who want to succeed in the game of chess should realize that combinative and positional plays do not oppose, but rather complement each other.
