Basic opening strategy

Basic opening strategy (Chess
Opening rules)
In a chess game, the opening stage is
very important because it determines
what kind of middle-game position can
arise from it.
Source: chessbee.com
BASIC OPENING PRINCIPLES
Move the centre pawns ( e4,d4,e5,d5 ) so that you will gain the
initiative in the centre and will have good space.
Develop minor pieces (knights, bishops).
Castle your king: the king needs to be safe, as you are going to
start attacking in the middlegame and you should not allow any
attack on your king.
Source: chessbee.com
BASIC OPENING PRINCIPLES
Control or occupy the centre (the centre of the
board holds the key to a chess game).
Do not move the same piece or pawn twice
unless it creates a huge attack against your
opponent or you are winning material (opening
stage only).
Do not move your queen unless it builds a
huge attack on your opponent or you are
winning material.

Example - 1
White has only developed his queen, leaving him
far behind Black. Meanwhile, Black has followed
the principles of development well, bringing
three minor pieces into play and constantly
harassing White’s queen.
Source: chessbee.com
Example - 2
White pawns on e4 and d4 control many key
squares, while the knights on f3 and c3 are well
placed to jump quickly to the center squares and
can even be retreated wherever needed.
Source: chessbee.com
Example - 3
In the diagram above, both players have castled
within the first five moves of the game.
Both kings are quite safe, and neither player
needs to fear a quick checkmate here.
