![]() ![]() If you put your pieces on good squares faster than your opponent does, you’ll be able to bring more attackers to a key square and win material or, if your opponent hasn’t considered king safety, even checkmate. What’s next? You want to get your army out quickly to attack. So you’ve put all the pawns in the centre that you can. As black, you should challenge white’s claims to the centre, responding to e4 with e5, d4 with d5, and anything else (1.Nf3, c4, b3, etc) with either, as long as you won’t lose the pawn. ![]() In practice, this means you’ll be playing e4 or d4 for your first move as white (I recommend e4 to start), and, if your opponent plays a move that allows you to do so without losing material, you will play the other as your second move. Beginners are usually told to play “classically.” So what does this mean? There are valid (and strong!) openings that don’t do this, but those are generally taught later on ,since you need to know when to strike back in the centre or you’ll get blown off the board. Rule 1: Control the centre (e4, e5, d4 and d5) with pawns. Different people have different rules You’ll hear different versions of these 3 A LOT. There’s nothing wrong with learning basic openings and concepts, but that’s the thing: there’s concepts behind most opening moves, and if you learn the concepts, following then will get you playing some kind of opening without needing to study too much. So when you’re starting out, people who say you shouldn’t study openings usually mean you shouldnt memorize long lines. ![]() Please continue to give us your feedback and suggestions on how we can help make /r/chess better for everyone.
