Jan 3, 2020 at 23:05 comment added Michael West If you don't know what to do push a pawn is the worst answer because pawns don't go backwards. Pushing pawns is a big commitment. For beginners who have trouble knowing what to do and could not follow a checklist like ldog I advice them to point their pieces at the opponents king. If they are playing someone on their level this is often enough to win.

That was the beginner strategy I saw in 6th grade as the kids played their first game and had no idea what to do so one kid moved his rook pawns so all the others did that too.
