To excel in Chess, consider implementing the following strategies:
a. Familiarize Yourself with Opening Systems: Develop a repertoire of solid and time-efficient opening moves to ensure a strong start. An easy way to select the opening would be to play the same openings as your role model. Eg. If you feel that you are an attacking player, then emulate the games of Garry Kasparov.
b. Focus on Piece Development: Rapidly develop your pieces towards the center of the board to control important squares and maintain a harmonious position.
c. Calculation and Intuition: Cultivate a balance between calculating tactical lines and relying on your intuition to make swift decisions.
d. Time Management: Allocate your time wisely during the game, allocating more time for critical positions or complex tactical situations. Utilize your time wisely and make effective use of your opponent’s time as well.
