Find and spot the weakest piece in your opponent's camp as well as your own, decide to be aggressive or defensive and carry on peacefully and remember to take a deep breath before you make a move and after that check and see if you have overlooked anything, think more than twice and after you find a good move, don't get excited, stay calm and find another and choose the best
4 Simple things to consider and keep in mind throughout a good game:
1) King Safety
2) Development
3) Centralisation
4) Mobilisation
