  <p><em>This question is about general tips, not just openings</em></p>
  <p>Is there any tips for this variant KOTH, which requires the player to bring the king to the center before the opponent, or by checkmating the opponent?</p>
  <p>E.g. do not bring your king out too early and how to counter it if the opponent plays it</p>
