Chess Tips for Beginners

Hello Chess.com members!  I wanted to make a list that contains important tips for beginer chess players.  Feel free to add on to this list.

• Move your king or queen's pawn first
• Control the center of the board
• Do not move a piece twice in the opening 
• Develop your back rank pieces quickly
• Learn how to "Castle"
• "Castle" early (Preferably king-side)
• Learn how to defend against certain openings
• Knights are best in the center
• Do not attack prematurely 
• Do not exchange pieces that allow your opponent to develop their pieces
• Develop knights before their respected bishops
• Do not exchange bishops or knights too early in the game
• Watch out for the "Four-Move Checkmate" and the "Fried Liver Attack"
• Learn the "En Passant"

And still my favourite...>Protect your pieces if you want to attack yourself.

Learn Opposition

Study endgames, starting with pawn endings. 

While it is true that some of the tips listed (such as controlling the center of the board, developing pieces, and "castling") are generally considered good strategies for chess beginners to learn, there are a few points on the list that may not be as helpful or accurate. It is not necessarily true that it is always best to move the king or queen's pawn first, or that knights are always best in the center. The best opening move and piece placement will depend on the specific position and the goals of the player. Additionally, the "Four-Move Checkmate" and the "Fried Liver Attack" are relatively uncommon and may not be the most useful things for a beginner to focus on.
