After the opening, ask yourself:
“Which of my pieces is doing the least?”
Then find a useful square for it.
A knight on the edge? Move it toward the center.
A bishop blocked by your own pawns? Open a diagonal.
A rook on a closed file? Move it to an open or semi-open file.
Before making your move, pause and ask:
What did their last move attack?
Is any of my pieces undefended or under attack?
Are they threatening checkmate, a capture, or a tactic?
Can I stop their threat while improving my position?
A simple habit is: “Checks, captures, threats.”
