Answer 4

Use all of your pieces.  Develop them one at a time and use them in combination for better effects.  Get your king castled on either side of the board.  Put rooks on open lines where they can have mobility.  Use center pawns to control central space.  Watch your opponent's eyes for clues as to what he/she is planning.  Sit on your hands until you are ready to make your move.

Answer 9

Yes! Speed chess! I used to get my a** whooped by my dad, brother and sister, but when we started playing speed chess, I suddenly came up in the game. It could be because I work better under pressure in most situations.

Good Luck

Answer 10

TAKE YOUR TIME

Think about what he is planning, why he made that move BEFORE you touch or think about moving. Is he threatening anything? Is there a checkmate threat? Then if not, think about your best move and make it. If you are playing speed chess, this still applies but have a quick look at threats then make a move. Dont spend more than 20 secs on each move. If you get behind, keep threatening him. Dont give in until it's too late to fight back (e.g rook or queen down).

Good luck and play well

Answer 11

Take your time. You should be careful of what you move. You should also think of what can be a possible move by your enemy/ friend.

Answer 12

Don't leave your king closed in.  Keep his area open so you have options.
