10 chess tip

1. Develop knights before bishops

I seem to do fair until later in the middle game then lose focus or get tired or something. Any ideas would be appreciated

If you get tired I recommend you just don’t play. Chess requires endurance not losing focus on move 13 or something .

First things are opening which guide you through both the opening and the midgame because your plan from the opening goes in connection to the midgame. Next is the midgame where the game is mostly decided at where maybe endgames take 2nd place in where most games are decided at. In the midgame you need to learn about these things in order of most important to least important(this is my opinion on the order so share ideas if you think this could change or things I could add). Stop blundering pieces/tactics, positional play, attacking play, and defensive play. Stop making mistakes is the 1st one and a way to reliably stop making these mistakes are removing/trading off anything that can punish you for a mistake and do puzzles everyday, and 2nd is positional play with correct positioning of the pieces, choking your opponent of space, weak squares and controlling them, and putting pieces to the most forward squares available and 3rd is attacking with, pawn storms, bring the pieces into the attack, and sacrifices and 4th defensive play is where you trade off the attackers, counter attack, and keep a steady pawn structure around the king. Endgames are the finals where some games are decided and the games you should mostly study are Rook endgames and pawn endgames, but you should also spend some time into other endgames.

2. Put your king in the center of the board from the get-go to get ready for the endgame early on

3. Never study openings. Create your own like “the inverted waffle gambit”. True chess champions freestyle like jazz musicians.

4. Don’t think about your opponent’s moves, focus only on your own vibe. Positional understanding is a scam. True chess energy comes from inner peace and randomly pushing pawns.

Guys. For clarity what #6 and #7 said is fake, but I like the sarcasm.
