 - If you can achieve something with multiple men, usually it's best to do it with the weakest one.
 - Have a plan, even a simple one -- you mustn't just be answering the opponent's moves, you want to have goal (but you may change your goals quickly) such as "I wanna develop and castle, then start attacking this weak pawn here" etc.
 - Think from opponent's point of view -- this seems to be an important skill that beginners lack. If you only think about what you want to do, you often find yourself in trouble because you ignored the opponent's threats. At the very least you should ALWAYS think after the opponent's move about WHY he made it to be aware of what his plan probably is and what you should be prepared for. If you don't see why he made a move he did, you must think harder: either he blundered (good for you, take the opportunity!) OR you missed something and you have to find what.
+- Sometimes, usually in endgames, the obligation to make a move becomes a disadvantage -- this is called [zugzwang](zugzwang.md) and can be abused. For example if the opponent has a pawn and a king who guards another pawn, it may be so that blocking the first pawn will make it unable to move, leaving the opponent with only a move that will make his king stop guarding the other pawn which can then be taken.
 - Practice endgame -- the play is quite different from middle game, the king joins the battle, you start to race your pawns and prevent opponent's pawns from promoting. { I don't know if it's a good advice but at least in puzzles I've found that if you aren't sure about your move in the endgame, pushing the pawn is usually the right move :D ~drummyfish }

 - When losing constantly offer draws, prolong the game AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, before the very last move just let the clock run out.
 - Repeatedly try to make swastikas on the board, especially against colored opponents.
 - Underpromote pawns to knights or bishops.
+- Just mirror the opponent's moves.
 - Any time you can play en passant do it no matter what and always follow by saying "google en passant".
 - The rating equalizer (you must be somewhat good): play so that you give rating to low rated players and take it away from high rated ones.
 - When playing a noob don't just mate him but absolutely rape him, promote all pawns to knights before winning, then say you didn't even have to try and that he should look into another game as chess is clearly not his game. Research humiliating play: for example GM Aman Hambleton demonstrated on stream a so called *reset checkmate* in which one promotes all pawns so as to have the original back rank men and then delivers a checkmate by placing the men in the original starting position (furthermore he did this by premoving it all which adds to the humiliation).
