1. Follow opening principles: occupy/control the four central squares with your pawns and pieces; develop your pieces quickly with a view to reinforcing control of the centre; castle.
2. Don't leave pieces hanging.
3. Don't develop your queen too early.
4. Study tactics, especially pins, skewers, forks and discovered attacks.
5. Study endgames, especially king and pawn endings (the most common). Within this, learn and understand the opposition, the rule of the square (for calculating pawn races) and the Lucerna position.
6. Have fun and learn from your mistakes.
