The principle that a badly placed piece can have a decisive influence on the outcome of a game has two aspects in practice. It means, of course, that you should make sure to actively involve all your own pieces in your play; further resulting in a strategic approach - to gain a decisive advantage by removing one of your opponent’s pieces from the game as completely as possible! In his video, Jan Markos presents two great games – Cheparinov-Stellwagen (Amsterdam 2005) and Svidler-Carlsen (Grenke Chess Classic 2019) – as prime examples.
In the key position of the game Svidler-Carlsen mentioned above, the Russian had to take the decision where to move his bishop.
17.Bb5 followed by 17...Rxf5 18.Bxc6 with a balanced position was an option. Svidler however chose 17.Ba2 – believing that the bishop would play an active role on the a2-g8 diagonal. But Carlsen proved this to be an illusion: he transferred his knight to the kingside while the white bishop remained on a2 for the rest of the game. A few moves later, Black dominated the kingside and had a clearly winning position:
