Bio
I just read a bit in a magazine that amazingly captured my deep chess tactical thinking in one spot. It described four techniques: 1) If I haven't moved a piece in a while, particularly a knight, I move it. 2) I love moving things slantily, so my bishop gets first option. 3) I don't believe in separating a King and Queen so I try to keep them near each other. 4) I hate pawn clutter so I try to get rid of them immediately.
