0-700 ELO Habits
- No Pre-Moves
- No Tactics
- No Gambits
- No Sacrifices
- Know how all the pieces move
- Control and move towards the center
- Castle as soon as possible
- Don’t hang free pieces – Take free pieces
- Activate King in the endgame – Attack pawns
- Capture pieces of equal or greater value whenever possible (avoid Q for 2R trade for now)
- Remember, pawns do not count as pieces
- Always attack a Bishop or Knight on g4/g5/b4/b5 with the a or h pawn immediately
- Make an escape square for the King once finished development
- Spend just as much time on moves as your opponent (or less) – Use your time to think, but don’t get low on time.
- Spend a lot of time at the beginning to follow all the rules
700-1100 ELO Habits
- No gambits
- No Sacrifices
- Premoves < 10 seconds
- Always Play Until Checkmate
- Know the basic tactics (forks, pins, skewers, discoveries)
- Capture towards the center with pawns
- Control and move toward the center
- Castle early (but not asap)
- Continue taking most available trades
- Develop your pieces to more aggressive squares
- Make an escape square for the King once finished development
- Rooks belong behind passed pawns
- Know all the basic checkmates (Queen, Rook, Queen + Rook, Rook + Rook)
- Expand in the center early with pawns in order to gain space

At the moment I can't say I've had good success playing with them, though paradoxically I feel as though I'm playing better and with more clear purpose.
Although my self-analysis is probably flawed, it seems to me that what's happened by adopting these guidelines is that my opening has become safer and more reliable, but my better position after the opening gets chipped away through the midgame until I reach the endgame with slightly less material than my opponent and that proves the deciding factor. I'm not sure whether that is a result of chessbrah's encouragement to trade, or simply my opponent's better play (I have suffered from a fork more than once in recent games!).
I will persevere for a while and see ...

Well. slight improvement ... I think the principles work better in short games rather than slow long games. He makes it look so easy in his stream, lol

You believe Ebonics is a devolution of English? I dont adopt a prescriptivist approach to language change or variation, so I'd be interested to hear your case for that view.

Well, I've persevered with using the principles. But just keeps losing with them. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
Of course, it could just be that my foundational play is below my rating and that previously I'd been somewhat lucky with opponents. Or maybe these principles don't really work so well. Or a bit of both.
Hard to determine.

What nonsense principles, would certainly destroy a talented youngster , no sacrifices ???? No gambits??? How the hell will he learn about fast development and attacks if he wont sacrifice? Perhaps this moron chessbro wants to make other clones of him self

I'm not sure he can be called a moron in chess. But do you really think these principles are that bad?

Sadlone is a known troll. don't mind him.
Those principles are okay. What I have seen in your games is that you violate the "Don’t hang free pieces" part.

I also so violation against the ‘take pieces of the same value’ and the ‘activate your king in the endgame, attack pawns’.
That is not meant as critique btw, it is really hard to follow all these principles.

Has anyone tried playing according to his set of principles? Do they work well?
