Tips for Winning
Control the Center: Try to place your pawns and pieces in the middle of the board (squares d4, d5, e4, e5). This gives you more room to maneuver.
Develop Your Pieces: Move your Knights and Bishops out early. Don't leave them on the back row where they cannot help the battle.
Protect Your King: Use the "Castle" move early in the game to tuck your King safely behind a wall of pawns.
Think Ahead: Before making a move, check if your opponent can capture one of your pieces. Always ask, "What will they do next?"
