    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.

      Sacrificing your powerful pieces always throws off the opponent, wondering what the hell they don’t see.

      Sooooo, I just suggest to my opponent that we just dump our queens?

      I wish I had thought of that before

    Some actual chess advice: the thimble is the most powerful piece, even stronger than the top hat.

    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:

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