Middle game advice

1. A central move is often better than castling.
2. If you have a choice of rooks to lift, choose the one that isn't defending something.
3. If you have a choice of rooks to capture, take the one that is doing the least.
4. Be careful when a long range piece is lined up on your K or Q, even if there are several bodies in the way!
5. Doubling rooks on a file you cannot use is a waste of 3 tempi.
6. Play slower when you are winning, faster when losing.
7. Mankinds oldest defence: RUN!!
8. When in doubt, improve your King.
9. Extra pieces make excellent defenders.
10. Activate, Activate, Activate!!!!
