I would like to share some Chess Advices here , welcome with any one who would like to share his ideas and chess advices .
1-At opening start advancing knights before bishops While bishops can control on several squares of their original, if not there pawns hinder their way.So is moving the knights first to control several squares of discount

Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

Also, one must be at peace with himself and one with himself and the universe. Meditation and martial arts should greatly improve one's Chess ability.

Doggy=lolo, What kind of dogs do you have??
1. Do not drink anything alcoholly before a tounamment game!!! It makes you see master level moves only to see your Queen taken after you make the move that looked so good!!
2.Do not wear tight clothes coat/tie, tight pants etc, its get uncomfortable in a long game loose is best!
3. Sit with the sun to your back and in your opponents face!
4.Reread numbers 1., 2., and 3!!

1. Keep your eye on the goal: CHECKMATE2. Think of what the opponent would do to combat your move3. Don't sufficate your king4. Trade off queens only if you're ahead pointwise (view details)5. Don't run your king out of bounds (your side of the board)6. Connect rooks and knights7. Analyze if you have time8. Trade off knights for bishops only if the board is fairly clear (and vise versa)9. If the board is fairly empty, think about advancing a pawn.10. Play the game not the rating
