Good post. I already knew most of this stuff but still good you posted.
I have one more tip to add:
u should let ur opponent take uand have another piece take other pieces and alternate occationnally
7) There's no such thing as high level four player anti chess

There is no such thing as idea 7)
4) is very true. I'd add that giving a player many choices is bad. He becomes unpredictable.
3) is not always true. It is usually very good to open his rook (eat a pawn near his rook). However eating too many his pawns can help him!

So I only got (4) right??
Always open with the dark-squared (king's) bishop pawn, so you don't develop any pieces that could capture anything.

That was my original thought (altho I did it by opening my knight), but the people that were beating me were getting their queens and bishops out there, and eaten, long before I was.
I move the king's pawn so that I can force the player to the left of me to take my bishop if they do your strategy
What do you mean? If the player to the left of you opens with the king's bishop pawn (i-pawn for red, 9-pawn for blue, f-pawn for yellow or 6-pawn for green), they can't take anything, because it only develops the king. The idea is to just move out the king, which can't capture anything, and stall for as many moves as possible before someone opens up your pawns and releases your pieces.
I always push the pawn near my king. I mean the "f" pawn. That way i can adapt to wjatever otjers play. I only do this if i am red.
You can take the pawn in front of his/her king with your bishop (if you are red and they are blue) and they have to take the bishop
OK, but then you just recapture with the king, so your pawns will still be closed.
in endgame, usually 2 pieces are better than a pawn.
that's why 3) is not always true.
No, I'm not claiming to be some kind of anti-chess expert. Far, far from it. I am asking the audience
So... what principles are there for strategy in anti-chess. Not tactics, strategy. Here are somethings that so far, at my very low level, seem to be true:
1) You need to get your big powerful pieces eaten early. The end game seems to be late in the game when you might actually get a free move, and it is hard to get there if you still have queen, bishop, rook type pieces.
2) Contrariwise, eat your opponents little pieces when you have a choice.
3) Eat his row of pawns so that his pieces are open to the world and have LOTS of things that they have to eat.
4) Keep a sharp eye (this is almost more of a tactic) out for someone whose running out of targets, and present on.
5) Get between a piece and its target! Force them to eat you, or eat a big piece instead.
Any of this true? Anything else??
