Tip: Look at the overworked pieces on the board, and think about how you could win material with it-or the game. Overworked pieces are pieces that pieces protecting more than 1 piece. You could exchange a bishop for a knight. The queen captures, then leaving, say, a pawn undefended. You go take that pawn.
Tip: Your pieces are most active when they are in the center four squares. In other words, they can reach further.
Tip: If you castle kingside, then a having a knight 2 squares in front of a rook that's beside a king without any pawns that already moved is a very formidable defense.
Tip: Do not waste time when developing, and do not start combinations before completely developed.
Tip: Develop knights before bishops. Why? Within our first few moves, we know where our knights belong. However, we may want our bishop to pin an enemy piece or be placed elsewhere.
Tip: Don't move your h-pawn to prevent a pin once you've castled. As pawns may never move backward, the hole in your castle can lead to an easy way for your opponent to destroy your kingside.
Tip: Don't hesitate to demolish your opponent's castle by sacrificing a piece! As I said before, tearing the castle apart most likely will lead to a checkmate.
Tip: An experienced chess player does not look for combinations; he (or she) waits for combinations to come. Simply develop your pieces until your opponent makes a mistake or blunder.
Tip: Don't grab pawns when you need to develop or your king is in danger.
Tip: Gaining space means more freedom for your pieces and less for your opponent's. You can gain space by placing pieces in the center four squares (as I said before) since they can reach the furthest there.Tip: Gaining space means more freedom for your pieces and less for your opponent's.

However, if nearly all your pawns are gone, I advise you castle queenside in order to mobilize your rook.Sep 14, 2
