Teaching strategy can be difficult. Learning experiences that are meaningful can make it easier for students to relate to the concepts being taught. When the lesson can be applied to real life, students tend to have a greater educational take-away. To convey chess concepts like piece protection, consequences, and goal setting, I like to use real-life scenarios or storytelling.
