[KNIGHTS AND QUEENS WHITE STRATEGY (KNIGHTS)]  White wants to keep the position as closed as possible for the knights to have maximum value and possibilities against the Queens.  A tip is to advance the D,E pawns to free up squares for the N’s.  Keep the pawns on the H file if you can.  Slowly advance your pawns without letting the Queens behind. Always be weary of Q sacrifices. 

[BLACK STRATEGY (QUEENS)] As a general rule, Black aims to open the position and coordinate the Queens. There are two main ways to play this.  A) Immediate Attack.  B) Sit and Wait    (IMMEDIATE ATTACK) This is an immediate rush on the H file.  Make sure all of your moves have some kind of purpose towards attacking the H file or its defenders.  Try to use all 7 of your queens in your attack unless you really need 1 for defense.  Do not sacrifice queens without concrete benefit. 7 Queens makes it possible to sacrifice 5 sometimes 6 queens and still deliver checkmate.   (SIT AND WAIT STRATEGY) This one is more complex to play and it usually involves keeping your queens shuffling and prodding about on both sides of the board while letting your opponent possibly overextend and fall victim to tactics.
