Chess Tips

MIDDLEGAME TIPS:

Don't hope that your opponent won't see the threat - expect your opponent to play the best move, and see if you still like your plan. [You cannot base your game around one-idea plans like a3 Bc2 Qd3 Qxh7# - this may take four moves to threaten and one move (...g6) to defend]
