The first Thought - This is the most important of all chess tips.!!

After your opponent has moved, what do you think first? Many people think they are the center of the earth and that planet earth is evolving around them. They only think about themselves and in which way they can overrun the opponent. The opponent simply doesn't exist in their minds and they only worry about their own moves and plans.

Some players might even think how great they are and that they are going to win just because they have the higher rating. This arrogant attitude will be punished in a chess game in no time at all.

If you think first about yourself and your own moves and possibilities, after your opponent has moved, then it is time to change this way of thinking completely or you will never become a good player. You are going to lose many games just because of your attitude.
