A rook on eight is named nate
A knight on eight is great
A knight on the wall is named paul
A bishop in trouble is worth double

If you live by these simple rules, you will never lose a game of chess.

So if I send a rook and knight to my opponent's back rank asap,sac the other knight and glue it to the wall and then get my bishops into trouble I will win?

will try it sometime 🙂
