Making a Plan

When you don't know what to do, one good idea is to find your worst placed piece and improve it. Once all of your pieces are on good squares, there's more likely to be a tactical way to win material.

Good & Bad Pieces

Good pieces are active and have a purpose. A bad piece has limited mobility and doesn't attack anything. You want to make your pieces active, and trade off pieces that you can't make good.
