Make always the best move.

Listen up, lil' buckaroo, listen closely, um...The way, see here's the way, the method that you can use to win this little board game here; and only here can you use the special method that will cause you to beat your opponent: is to currently affect your opponent so that they lose psychic connection with their physical analogue--or what you call pieces--while simultaneous strengthening your splined strands with the energy of the game-projection.

 

Or, you could just eat all of their pieces when they aren't looking.

You gotta use the pieces to KILL the King.

you get pawns to the last rank and then stacke them on top of another and chase the enemy king tilk you kill him

Tell me how to win in the most vague way possible.

I am a little confused if you understand the meaning of vague. Win by winning, may  work if you do.

Well, u move d4 is a good opening and en passant is tricky and you should look into back rank mates because thouse are handy

fixed a correction there, but I think its a good explanation

If you want the most vague answer possible, you win by winning.

Checkmating, flagging, or mercilessly beating your opponent leaving them no choice but to resign are some ways to win
