I think that initiative and wining position diferent things. Initiative and tempo is very important and show us who will attacking. In Pente it very often means that this player build his winning combination and improve his position. But sometimes if the player can not win he just create more addition stones to his opponent and improve his position. Such tacktick is often in Renju, for instance 20 times Meijin and 2 times World Champion in Renju Shigeru Nakamura style is " gave up initiative and haughtly wait mistake of opponent"
As for Adzi - easy speaking it means not capture opponent stones and keep tempo in atacking. Keeping building winning combination or improving your own position. When you have no good idea of improving position then you can capture.
