evaluating positions is too simplistic. It is also important to take into account the dimension of time not the time on your clock, but the time on the board.

Lead in development
In the position on the left,
White has a temporal advantage of three moves. White
has already developed both
his bishops and he has
already castled.

White not only has a slight lead in development, but he can also
exploit the poor position of Black's knight. The knight cannot
take part in the defence of the kingside. Many of White's pieces
are aimed at Black's king. The appropriate course of action is
therefore an attack on the king:
the defences.
The following three positions have been taken from a game between Leo Kerkhoff and Eddie Scholl.
Kerkhoff cleverly exploits his lead in development while Scholl rather neglects to develop his pieces.
The first diagram arises after 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. BgS c6 S. Be2 Nbd7 6. NfJ Qc7 7. Qd2

Discovered attack
A double attack can be set up with the help of five different types of preparatory move:
luring
chasing
aiming
The same types of preparatory move can be used to prepare a discovered attack. As you will probably
recall, a discovered attack requires the presence of a battery. In some positions, the battery may not yet
be effective or must first be set up. This is where the preparatory move comes in.
