Chess is among the few games that do not
discriminate between people. A chess match can be played between opponents
regardless of age, gender, color or creed. In many ways, it reflects the true essence
of humanity even as two people compete to gain the upper
hand. Chess does not care if you are powerful or weak. The great leveler of
human nature is a humbling reminder that talent and qualities matter more than
the confines dreamed up by those too nearsighted to see the truth. The only
thing that matters is skill – the skill to anticipate your opponent’s moves or
bear the loss.
In every game, basics matter a lot, and
same applies to chess. If your openings are not sorted, then no amount of
tactics and strategies can help you make a comeback. Some basics about chess openings are
mentioned here
that can be useful in making yourself perfect in chess openings.
Learn
the Principles: If
you are new to chess, it is better to memorize all the principles of opening a
game. One of the basic principles of opening a game in chess is to develop your
pieces on the chessboard. It means that you have to position your pieces as
fast as possible so that you can secure many positions on the board. After
that, you should see that your minor pieces such as pawns, knights, and bishops
move forward first. Do not be in a hurry to open your ‘big guys’ first. Another
important thing is to develop the pieces in coordination with each other. This
can open so many opportunities for you in the middle-game.
Use
those Principles in the Game: When you have a clear understanding of the
opening principles of the game, you should try to implement them in the game.
Most of the players try different openings and tactics for the different stages
of the game when they sit down to evaluate their performance after a game. This
helps them to find out the strategies that work best for them and also identify
the mistakes to avoid in the future.
Learn
Some Professional Openings: Experienced players have a specific set of
openings that they use interchangeably in different games. Their list of
openings automatically grows as they gain more knowledge and experience. You should
also develop a unique style of opening the game. That will help you choosing
the openings better.
