Here is another great example of following a simple plan to its obvious conclusion. White employs a king side fianchetto, training all his pieces on the c6 pawn. But in the end, the pawn itself survives the entire game. Instead, in trying to defend the pawn, Black falls victim to various other tactics, resulting in a winning final position for white.

Can’t help but feel it’d be better to give up one of those queenside pawns earlier for the sake of opening the rooks! The c4 pawn wouldn’t be that easy to protect. Felt like black’s entire world revolved around that enclosed space.
