Introduction

Welcome to another instructive study by NoseKnowsAll. This interactive study is for players 1500-2000 lichess, taking you through an important strategical concept: talking to your pieces. We'll explore how you can use this idea to form middlegame plans and activate your army. Importantly, we'll also see how you can put yourself in your opponent's shoes and talk to their pieces in order to find prophylactic moves. This study is part one of a two-part series on developing plans on the chessboard. If you're more advanced and have mastered this study, please check out part two: * Pawns aren't people! | Developing plans II https://lichess.org/study/dYFcDtRq Throughout this study, I will also provide general tips that these positions showcase. Whenever this general advice occurs, I'll write it just like this: PRO TIP: One bad piece can make the entire position bad. If you find this study useful, please heart it and share it with any friends!
