• Rotate your camera often to catch angles of the board you might have otherwise ignored.
• Control the center squares early, as they act as a gateway to every other part of the grid.
• Think of your pawns as a unified force; keeping them linked is safer than letting them wander alone.
• Prioritize the promotion of your pieces into Kings, as their mobility is your greatest weapon.
• Take your time, breathe with the fire, and never let an opponent bait you into a reckless jump.
