When we win material either via a blunder or from an intentional sacrifice by our opponent, we often give our opponent compensation for the trade off. This often comes in the form of the initiative.
The initiative is a dynamic advantage that can take the form of an attack or counterplay. When we have the initiative, we often have the opportunity to put our opponent on the defensive. This element can be temporary, so if we don't make the best use of it, the player with the extra material may often have an insurmountable advantage.
In our illustrative game, Seirawan vs Karpov, London 1982, GM Seirawan gains a material advantage and demonstrates how to quell his powerful opponent's initiative and counterplay.
Some of the analysis I studied for this game was from Yasser Seirawan's instructive masterpiece "Winning Chess Brilliancies." He goes into a lot more detail on some of his theoretical choices and the decisions he made during the game than I do in this video, so I highly recommend checking his book out.
