Learning Chess

Chess starting moves




Chess has been something I have always been interested in learning and that why I chose to do greatest chess strategies as my IRP project. Chess has 3 phases: the opening, the middle game, and the endgame. In the opening pawns and minor pieces play very key roles.

There are 10 useful tips to help you succeed in the game

1. Look at your opponent's move.
2. Make the best possible move.
3. Have a plan.
4. Know what the pieces are worth.
5. Develop quickly and well.
6. Control the center.
7. Keep your king safe.
8. Know when to trade pieces.
9. Think about the endgame.
10. Always be alert.

I believe the best way to get started is with a good first move because often times the first move can decide everything that is why I will be focusing on opening moves in the first blog. In the book the book it says one of the best first moves is to attack the e5 pawn by doing so your opponents choices are very limited. This is the best opening move and the easiest to pull off

another great move to open with is called the "Spanish opening" which starts out by making 3 unique moves. shown in the picture to the right are the 3 moves White creates a potential pin of the d-pawn or Knight and starts an attack immediately, this is a very useful move to make.

Question: Do you think your opponents moves can effect how these moves are used or will you still be able to perfom them successfully?
