1. OPENING:
Focus on controlling the center early in the game.
Develop your pieces before moving the same piece multiple times.
Don't move the same pawn too many times in the opening.
Castle early for king's safety.
Learn a few openings deeply rather than many superficially.
2. MIDDLEGAME:
Prioritize piece activity and coordination.
Look for loose pieces and defend your pieces and find ways to attack (double attack) your opponent pieces.
Knight vs. Bishop:The knight is superior to the bishop when each side has five or more pawns.[♞+ ♟️♟️♟️♟️♟️] > [♝ + ♟️♟️♟️♟️♟️]
