What is CETOF? Still a working progress, like in Math you have PEDMAS, in chess you have CETOF. Every letter in CETOF stands for a word.. Any changes, suggestions are welcome! Words in PRIORITY !

C = Checks (always look for checks 1st)

E = Eat (always look for Captures)

T = Threats (look for threats you can make as well as your opponent's threats)

O = Order (Make sure you have the correct move order, very important)

F = Forks/Pins

OR/AND

C = Checks

H = Hangning Pieces

E = Eat ( Captures )

A = Attacks

P = Pins/Forks

Other words/letters to include:

O = Whole - Look at the WHOLE board !

S = Sacrifices (always look for sacs)

T = Trap (always look to trap your opponent's queen or piece)

U = Undefended pieces

L = learn from your mistakes

B = When you see a good move look for a better one !
