also kings rook first pawn

unfortuantly I dont know the codes for them but thats the best i can give you. I usually win with those two. But its pretty bad because I usually am playing with people that have little to no clue as to what they are doing.

But before that you need to get your pieces into position to KILL KILL KILL! So you need to develop them – position them well.

Every move counts. Wherever possible choose your moves such that they develop a piece and simultaneously have some sort of forcing or controlling effect on your opponent.

Choose a set of openings that you feel comfortable with for white, and a set for black, and then become a little bit familiar as to do with some oddball openings you may face.

I have my favourites and anticipate many of my opponents’ replies. For me: when I am white I play
1. e2e4

and when I face 1…e7e5 I play giuoco piano or king’s gambit or vienna depending on the context

when I face 1…c7c5 I play a closed sicilian (2. Nb1c3)

when I face 1…e7e6 I play a tarrasch version of the French (with my Q-knight going to d2)

etc.

On occasions I will open with 1.Ng1f3 and play a reverse coour strategy of my usual strategy as black vs 1.d2d4.

When I am black I will play 1…e7e5 against 1.e2e4 opening. If I face 1.d2d4 (the most common opening these days) I play 1…Ng8f6 with the intention of going into some sort of King’s Indian or Grunfeld style game. Same for my reply to 1.c2c4. If I get some oddball opening I will often then reply in the center – so against 1.g2g3 or 1.g2g4 or 1.b2b3 I will come at them with 1…d7d5 or 1…e7e5 depending on which long diagonal I want to block.

————————

I have a friend who prefers a different strategy to me. When he plays white he always likes 1.d2d4 (to my eternal frustration) and he has his own set of favourites against 1…d7d5 or 1…Ng8f6 which he commonly encounters.

If he is black and you play 1.d2d4 against him he will play 1…d7d5 and end up in a "Slav" set up with pawn on c6 and maybe e6 (hooping to get his bishop out first)

If you play 1.e2e4 against him he will play 1…c7c6 and play a "Caro Kann" opening which is very analogous to the Slav.

The wiki page is actually quite good. Have a look at some of the stuff there. Lots of diagrams and a fairly thorough list of your options.

A) Develop your pieces. Knights, Bishops
B) Control the center.
C) Castle early to protect the King
D) Avoid creating weakness in your own pawns
E) Try to create weakness in his pawns
F) Lastly develop your Queen.

Alot of players move awful fast without thinking of what they
are doing they just memorize opening from books Dan
Heisman rightfully calls it ‘Hope Chess’.

1) Don’t move your Queen to early

Alot of players today insist on moving the Queen Early
at every opportunity they say ‘your suppose to do that’ says who? if it gets trapped or caught in a crossfire then it’s your funeral.

2) Develop your pieces effectively the whole whole point of the opening is to prepare the army for the middle game.

3) Don’t make too many unnecessary pawn moves in the opening.

Every single pawn must be moved carefully? why because pawns can’t go back note you espcially want to be careful
with the pawns in front of the King because they defend it
weak pawns around the King will be noticed immediatly by
your opponent.

4) Don’t memorize lines and lines of opening variations

I know many players who just memorize they go through
MCO or their thick database they try to out book their opponents and it doesn’t do a heap of good in 3 or 4 weeks they forget them the most important thing is to understand the overall aim of the opening and the ideas behind them.
