Tips for crazy-house chess

  1. Knights are Queens, but better in many cases. Forks are hard to foresee, especially when the forking piece is not even on the board. Most chess players have a hard time keeping track of knights already.
  2. Pawns are basically Queens, assuming you can set up a position where you can promote in a few moves.
  3. Castling in many cases is not the preferred move.
  4. Chain checks allow you to put down a bunch of pieces - just remember that unless you check with a knight, your opponent gets to do the same!
  5. Watch out for the pawn bulwark. It calls for many back-rank mates!
  6. Do not place your pieces until you see a tactic that just wrecks your opponent.
  7. Remember you can't drop a piece on another piece but you can drop pieces in to block check and to deliver check/checkmate
  8. Drop pawns in on the seventh/second rank to threaten promotion but remember you can't drop a pawn in a promotion square 
  9. Don't use gambits that you would do in normal chess
  10. Go pawn grabbing
  11. Bishops are a better pice to take in crazy-house so don't give the opposition your bishop
  12. Don't let you knight get pinned as it could add a lot of potential in a attack later on in the game
