Some actual advice for other chess noobs like me who blunder all over.

Your queen is your most valuable piece and many other noobs are over relying on it,

Therefor always try to do a queen trade whenever possible, stops you from blundering her away and gives you an experience advantage over many opponents.

Why is it always white against black and never the workers over the capitalists?

When you put it that way, the Soviets must have loved chess more than they hated capitalism back in the day, because they didn't change the rules:

yes, first the tennison gambit and then launch your

RT-2PM2 <>CODE LAUNCH THREE-STAGE SOLID-PROPELLANT SILO-BASED INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILE

to decimate blacks remaining forces.

You are not allowed to move through the smaller pieces, I think. Maybe start in the other direction and go around?

I use ultimate move: flip the table and eat the pieces.
