A theme is a method, in which a combination is realized. IE x-ray attacks, clearing a line or square, destroying the guard, decoying, attraction etc. with direct tactical means....this position is based on the x-ray, decoy, and destruction of the guard. This is not to say there are no positional factors, there is always positional factors, but in this case it's not slow long term positional gains but outright decimation! Do you understand my explanation?
