Fue por el logro

hmm but you can only limit that till one extent as at higher rated engines are of no use . engines wont be able to predict what moves you are going to play , same in case of titled players engine for them is a new chess learner

Well, always play an opening you are prepared for. Study them.

As far as mental, remember that it is a game. Win or lose, have fun.

Middlegame advice: When having an attack, never trade queens unless necessary. Throw your pieces into the fire immediately.

Endgame advice: If you are winning SIM-PLI-FY! If not, DO NOT TRADE.

common openings can be E4 and E5, but beware, do NOT pre-move on accident... which i did and opened black's queen pawn, but i still beat him, endgame advice: Use the king as a fighting piece, dont let it sit into the corner sweating bullets, let it come out, take the opponents pawns and stuff, DO NOT open king for fighting end game if theres a queen or a few travel pieces, (for those who dont know travel pieces are ones that can go long distance, Queen is one of them, pawns are not, Bishops, knights, and rooks are travel pieces... at least that's what i call it). So beware, if the opponent has more than 2 travel pieces, try not to open with a king, instead try to promote a few pawns and advance a few, DO NOT trade anything end-game as it can mainly result in a king and a king, stalemate right? yes, indeed. and for early game, look for freebies and look for any vulnerable pieces, if ur planing to capture, think about this: for example u can capture but the opponent can also capture you, think about who ends on the final capture. For the best result, its to be you, for a dangerous option, the opponent.

Next: Now we develop our pieces, remember, 1 strong move is better than 5 bad moves. So even if you're the lower time, be sure to think before acting, like you might find a checkmate square, but in reality, theres still a rook ready to take you. exactly. So when opening games, IMMEDIATELY throw your pieces onto the frontline. and DO NOT move only 1 single piece for over a million times, as blunders can happen and you can get checkmated easier than fish on a hook.

Good luck pals!
