[Edgeworth's nod is actually a little bit approving as he sits back.]
The thing about this game is that every piece must act in concert. Many approach the game as being about the queen - and, indeed, the queen is the most powerful piece, as she can move in any direction nearly without limitation. But more often than not, it will be a pawn that brings down the king. So you cannot teach a strategy for each of the pieces, because the best move always changes with the situation.
Indeed, it is the situation you must mind. For understanding what is going on, and the current of the game, is the key to victory.
