If your opponent cannot do anything active, then don't rush the position; instead you should let him sit there, suffer, and beg you for a draw.

{ This World Championship game was notable for many reasons. Steinitz, an
Austrian and defending world champion demonstrates his strong grasp of the
game against Tchigorin, a Russian player of high repute. Also, both players
drank freely as much as they desired of their chosen refreshment. Tchigorin
chose brandy, and Steinitz chose champagne. Champagne won the day. } 1. e4 { C65: Ruy Lopez: Berlin Defence } 1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. d3 { A bit
premature perhaps by modern standards, but solid. Neither side has developed
enough to begin attacking the e-pawns. } 4... d6 5. c3 g6 6. Nbd2 Bg7 7. Nf1 { Neither side has castled and the center is stable, so Knight maneuvers such
as this are affordable. } 7... O-O 8. Ba4 Nd7 { What is black's plan? The pawn
thrust f5 would open his king side up too much. Modern thinking favors queen
side expansion rather than this maneuver in this position. For example, 8...
a6 9 Ne3 b5 10. Bb3 Na5 11. Bc2 c5. } 9. Ne3 Nc5 10. Bc2 Ne6 11. h4 { The
center is sufficiently stable to allow an immediate king side pawn storm
while white is uncastled. } 11... Ne7 { Preparing d5 to rip open the center on
white's uncastled King. } 12. h5 d5 13. hxg6 fxg6 { The capture hxg6 toward the
center is better because it does not open the diagonal that black's King is
sitting on. This diagonal will open up even more as the center dissolves.
This capture away from the center is a terrible strategic error. } 14. exd5 Nxd5 15. Nxd5 Qxd5 16. Bb3 { This Bishop naturally heads for the open
diagonal. } 16... Qc6 { Now there are two open lines of attack against the black
King. All that is left is for white to mobilize his forces. } 17. Qe2 Bd7 18. Be3 Kh8 { The King feels the heat and frees the Knight for action. } 19. O-O-O Rae8 20. Qf1 { The queen not only gets off the file which could open at any
time, but also prepares attacking lines. } 20... a5 21. d4 exd4 22. Nxd4 Bxd4 23. Rxd4 $1 { In this case, the dark squared Bishop is much more important than
the exchange. For example, 23. Bxd4+?! Nxd4 24. Rxd4 Re7 and all is well for
black. } 23... Nxd4 $2 { There are so many threats... Here black planned to give
back the exchange after the expected recapture. 24. Bxd4+ Rf6 25. Bxf6 etc.
In hind sight, 23... Re7 is better, but black did not like the prospect of
R4h4. } 24. Rxh7+ $1 { What a surprise. Demolition of pawn structure. } 24... Kxh7 { Decoy to h7 is forced. } 25. Qh1+ Kg7 26. Bh6+ { The recapture of the Knight
can be effectively ignored when there are bigger fish on the hook. } 26... Kf6 27. Qh4+ Ke5 28. Qxd4+ Kf5 29. Qf4# 1-0
