Chess

Given I just learnt about chess, it would be pretentious for me to give tips. However, Paul has given good tips which I shall paste over here:

General
• Control the center
• Trade pieces to make the king move before castling
• Capture towards the center (except in the endgame)
• Always take an opportunity to check

Openings
• Don't touch the same piece twice
• Knights before bishops
• Develop bishops before closing the gap with your pawns
• Don't bring your queen out too early

Pawn
• Try to keep your pawns in islands (connected), rather than isolated

Knights
• Keep knights away from the side
• Knights are best(compared to bishop) when the play is on oneside of the board

Bishops
• Bishops are best (compared to knights) when play is on both sides of the board

Rooks
• control open files
• connect your rooks and double on open files
• put rooks behind pass pawn
