1. Control the center
2. Activate the minors
3. Get your king to safety
4. Connect and aim the rocks

1.In the old days, development mattered above all. Nowadays, it seems piece COORDINATION is of primary importance.

2. Development is good, but developing with threats is better.

3. Not all gambits are a thing of the past.

4. Look for opportunities to play a "delay castle" strategy, it just might save your King!
