'Ought' is a good word to convey the moral sense of 'should' (which I do not reject because, you know, that's like rejecting right and wrong). While it is possible to say 'you ought to take that bishop so that he doesn't pin your rook', it's not the immediate connotation that springs to mind -- that is, I think, the moral sense.
As for the other sense, you could use 'had better' ('you had better move that fragile ornament before the crowd of small children arrive'), perhaps?
