No pawn exchanges, no file-opening, no attack.

Strategically important points should be overprotected. If the pieces are so engaged, they get their regard in the fact that they will then find themselves well posted in every respect.

In the middlegame, the king is merely an extra, but in the endgame, he is one of the star actors.

Many men, many styles; what is chess style but the intangible expression of the will to win.

The great mobility of the King forms one of the chief characteristics of all endgame strategy. In the middlegame the King is a mere 'super', in the endgame on the other hand - on of the 'principals'. We must therefore develop him, bring him nearer to the fighting line.

No pawn exchanges, no file-opening, no attack.
