Although I admittedly still make my fare share of tactical blunders, I'm still trying to get a reasonable initial grip on the basics of tactical play. I recently finished Game 3694076, which was an incredibly closed up game, and I was looking for some criticisms or suggestions. I managed to make by bad bishop active, double up rooks, and control t ...[text shortened]... ts.

Also, some other closed/positional games would be nice to see. Feel free to post away.
