The TheoryA move which is a little weak from a positional play perspective. For example a player may be tempted to launch into a seemingly promising Kingside attack, but would have been better off following a more positional plan such as gaining more space on the Queenside, or queening a pawn, etc.
The move therefore is not strategically the best because of the plan it implies. Also moves which are positionally weak such as leaving oneself with a bad bishop, or terrible pawn structure, can also be considered to be "anti-positional" because the effect again is to cause damage to one's position strategically. Strategical damage is not necessarily the formal loss of material, but instead, damaging ones position in terms of more abstract positional elements. |
