What to study

Curiosity Gap

Chess players always want the one idea that lifts their rating. The bars put the knight on top under DO THIS, and the pawn and bishop under STOP THIS. You see the knight matters, but not the rule, and the shush makes it a secret.

How the packaging works
Title

'If You Know This ONE Chess Rule' makes it a test of what you already know, and 'Your Rating Will Explode' promises a big payoff in the number players track.

The red X and green tick pair colour with a shape, so the labels read even for colourblind viewers, and the ranked bars make an abstract rule look like data.

Remix this

When your rule is about which option to choose, show the options as ranked bars under stop and do labels. Put your favourite on the tallest bar, and keep the reason for the video.
