These ideas are must have patterns in your mind for understanding and ultimately playing chess better.
Solving the positions:
Try to solve these positions by
1. Evaluating the position, finding who's better i.e white or black.
2. Studying the positions one by one, without rushing.
3. Calculating different variations no less than 5 minutes each position, for better understanding.
