How to think
- Never drift. Always act with a purpose. Improve your position. Ask yourself what are your good pieces and bad pieces. Have a plan and follow it.
- Take the bloody pawn. Back up your capture with concrete calcutation, not being afraid of ghosts.
- If opponent is not doing anything, don't need to rush, but play with a purpose.
- For every opening move, ask you why you make this move? What does it bring to you, to your position. Also, ask yourself what are the plan of the opponent.
- In every opening, ask yourself what you want to achieve, and what are the positions you want to avoid.
- You need to know your pawn breaks, you need to know your middle game ideas.
- Don't force things unless you double-check your ideas with calculations.
- Pawn structure = the skeleton. The pieces = the organs.
- Important to play on the side where the skeleton is the strongest.
