In the Ruy Lopez, with white’s kingside bishop on b5 or a4 pressuring blacks knight on c6, it might be beneficial to hold off on Kc3 to leave c3 or c4 available to open space for a retreat.

As Black against a Queen’s Pawn opening, choose to put Kbd2 and let the c pawn move up.

Beyond positional superiority, the number of pieces in play is also indicative of whether or not a combination/sacrifice might exist.

After dislodging the g2 or g7 pawn, holes are left in the kingside which should be occupied by attacking pieces, as they can never be dislodged by a pawn. Infiltration.

Castle because you want to or because you must, not because you can.

A bishop is best placed for attack on a diagonal crossing the center.

Make the moves that conform with the requirements of the position, and you will be suitably rewarded.

Don’t think I wanna play the English soon but I like game 4, albeit the mistakes seem a bit too obvious for pedagogy.

The Colle System is an excellent way to put pressure on e4 and anticipate a kingside attack.
