Thinking for myself

•  When invasion squares haven't manifested themselves yet, your pieces should be aiming for the center
• Invasion squares are created by pawns
• You use a pawn own your own to undermine an enemy pawn
• You lure the enemy pawn away from defending the invasion square by a pawn of your own
• You have to wait for the right moment. Your pieces must be ready to occupy the invasion square.
• Your pieces determine which squares should be conquered to become an invasion square
• Since you pieces are aiming towards the center when there are no invasion squares around, the center squares become the invasion squares when pushing your center pawns
• The natural squares to develop to are Bc4, Bf4, Bg2, Bb2, Nc3, Nf3, Rd1, Re1

In chess, matters are seldom straightforward. There are moves that have an indirect influence on the center:

• Nbd2, aiming to support the pawn break c4 or e4
• Bg5, pinning Nf6, thus decreasing its influence on the center
• b4, b5 harassing Nc6,  thus decreasing its influence on the center
