J) Transformation
The transformation of one position-type into a
fundamentally different one is among the most
difficult positional themes in chess. During a
game of chess we perform many exchanges
which are quite obvious to us. They do not
substantially alter the character the position
and so, if they seem natural to us, we generally
do not have to think about them for very long.
Sometimes, however, there are sharp, forced
exchanges that alter the character of the position
very substantially. We call such transactions
'transformations'. Whereas the elements
of time and space play a great role in any transformation
that takes place in the middlegame, a
transformation in the endgame mostly involves
the creation of a new, unbalanced distribution
of material. In the following example, Black
has at least a slight advantage because of his
queenside pawn-majority.

R.Hubner - A.Karpov
Tifburg 1977
As Karpov proved, however, his pieces are
also better placed to fight for the c-file. With a
little combination he transformed the position
into a won endgame:
1 ... i.h6! 2 e3
Forced - White has no choice but to allow
the following combination. Not 2 .:i;(fdl? ~xcl
