Protect your King

In playing chess, the most important piece that you have is the king. The king is the life of your army even if it moves one step only at a time in any direction. When your opponent checkmates your king, the game is over. So, to avoid losing the game, you need to protect your king no matter what it takes. To protect your king, you need to build a good defense and at the same time, take an offense against your opponent.

One trick to build a good defense is put your both Knight at the center of the board so your Knight can defend 8 blocks, otherwise, if your both knight were placed on both side of the board, your knight can defend only 4 blocks. Another trick to maintain your defense strong is to keep your pieces supporting each other, and don't make a "double pawn" structure until you make a good defense. If you keep your king protected, then your enemy cannot defeat you easily.
