• Don't move the same piece multiple times in the opening unless necessary.

Tricks:

• Use pins and skewers to win material from your opponent.
• Perform a discovered attack to create double threats.
• Try fork attacks to attack multiple pieces at once.
• Use decoy tactics to lure your opponent's pieces away from important squares.
• Explore zwischenzug (intermezzo) moves to surprise your opponent.

Strategies:

• Control the center with pawns and pieces.
• Make sure your king is safe, either castled or well-protected.
• Create pawn weaknesses in your opponent's camp to exploit later.
• Coordinate your pieces to work together and support each other.
• Understand the strengths and weaknesses of each piece and use them accordingly.
