Thank you SLCC! These videos with experts who explain things so clearly and with humour (if they've got it!) are absolutely excellent. I'm just above beginner level and these are instructive and inspirational. Lessons learnt: * Exchange bad pieces for good pieces * Protect your king early by castling * Castling diagonally opposite means a draw is less likely * If you've castled and your opponent has not, open up the centre * Prefer to mate rather than gratuitous piece taking
