(This is a joke. Don't take any of this advice seriously.)
I understand that some people struggle with chess, and that is completely okay. Today, I have compiled many small tips, tricks, and strategies, to help you win at chess significantly more often.
Tip #1: Get your queen out in the opening
As you all know, the queen is the most powerful piece, so by simple logic it should be your main attacking weapon. I personally recommend using it in the opening, as it can win you a lot of material. Moving your queen out in the beginning may be considered by some individuals to be slightly unorthodox. However, we can take advantage of this. You see, many people haven't thought about adding queen moves to their opening repertoire, and therefore don't know how to respond to it. Here is an example of the great victories your queen can lead you to:
In this position, you have already won your opponent's rook, and you got 3 brilliant moves in a row.
Tip #2: Move your king out after the queen
If you use this tip, then your win rate is statistically proven to increase by 94.3% The main idea of this strategic play is that your opponents normally attack the king at e1 or in any of the castled positions. However, by moving the king out as far as you can, you will put your opponents out of their comfort zone.
Tip #3: Endgames are a waste of time
There are very few pieces at the end of the game, so it is easier to calculate the best moves. However, in the opening, there are many more pieces. Knowing good opening principles like getting your queen and king out as fast as possible can lead you to your next checkmate.
