My computer told me that our chess game was a draw, but I had my queen, a bishop and my king, whereas the computer only had its king. Is it actually impossible to win, or does my computer just think I’m too stupid to?
What’s a good positionaly sound chess opening for white? I find that my favorite opening for black is the Caro-Kann because I find it to be very good posistionaly and white has a hard time cracking it.
What’s a opening that would be similar to the Caro-Kann but on the white side?
I’ve been doing the queen pawn opening, but I find it to be too aggressive for my style.
Thanks.
To me it’s a very solid and logical opening, but I don’t see it played very much compared to the Queen’s gambit and I was wondering if there was a reason why (for instance weaknesses of it that I wasn’t aware of or it doesn’t allow white enough of an opening advantage).
In chess, I have realized that I feel very confident playing with the opening:
1.c3
2.g3
3.h3
and usually, I continue by fianchettoing my bishop and putting my king’s knight on f3 (4.Bg2,5.Nf3).
I also end up with a very good pawn structure.So, any critiques(other than the fact that I am weakening my queen’s knight)? What are the main weaknesses of this opening?
I’m an intermediate club level player, but I’ve never taken much time to learn a lot of chess openings. I know general opening principles (develop quickly, control the center, etc.), and recognize a decent number of openings during play. But I think it’s time to buckle down and start studying specific openings and their variations.
I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions for a good *process* to use for this study. Suggestions on particularly good books to work with would be welcome too, but more than that, I am trying to set up a solid program. Should I just start with one opening and memorize it? Work through variations one by one? Start with only king openings, or only queen, or…? Is it better to study on my own, or with others at the club? How much time should I spend?
And so forth.

Can you write the name of the opening please! Thanks for the answers
I like to play the queen’s gambit as white and the Carokhan as black.
For white
1. d4 d5 2. c4
For black
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5
