In the endgame (with queens out) king joins the battle as another active piece. +- Pawn structure is very important. +- Watch out for back rank checkmates, make an escape square for your king. +- Rooks want to be on open files, you also want to CONNECT them (have both guard each other). Also a rook in the opponents second row (2nd/7th rank) is pretty good. +- Bishops are generally seen a bit more valuable than knights, especially in pairs -- if you can trade your knight for opponent's bishop, it's often good. If your opponent has two bishops and you only have one, you want to trade yours for his so he doesn't have the pair. A knight pair is also pretty powerful though, especially when the knights are guarding each other. +- "Knight on a rim is dim" (knights are best placed near the center). +- An extremely strong formation is both rooks and the queen on the same open file. +- Blocking the opponents piece so that it can't move is almost as good as taking it. And vice versa: you want to activate all your pieces if possible. +- Don't play "hope chess", always suppose your opponent will play the best move he can. +- If you can achieve something with multiple pieces, usually it's best to do it with the weakest one. +- TODO: moar + ## LRS Chess Chess is only mildly [bloated](bloat.md) but what if we try to unbloat it completely?
