Now you will notice that within 6 moves white has developed all 4 minor pieces into more active positions, there are many aways to progress from here, but once your queen moves you have the nice option to castle king or queen side. If black plays 1.e5 then obviously the London is gone, but this rarely happens at a beginner level. Whites move almosy regardless of what black plays are 1. The London system is a stable if not boring opening but can make it difficultfor your opponentto immediately poke hiles in it if used properly. Ok as far as openings, because I know you asked, there are a couple simple ones that don't require a huge amount of theory to play, here is one for the kings pawn and one for the queens pawn. If your fundamentals need work because you find that you are hanging pieces or making fatal errors, check out John Bartholomews channel on youtube, the videos are 5 years old now so will look strange, but it holds up. Castling is one of the best beginners protections for your king, it means your opponent has to work to get through your defence. Your aim should be to have all your minor pieces developed by move 10 at the latest.Ĭastle, for the love of god castle. Infact it should almost be a rule of thumb not to move a pawn unless it helps you develop a minor piece or is an opening move like, e4 e5.
Players make the error of moving multiple pawns early on, this leaves them under developed and unable to respond to threats, if you end a game with your minor pieces unmoved on the back rank, you lost because you played poorly, not because your opponent played well.
Moving minor pieces (and only moving them once) Knights and Bishops, these are your building pieces and help you control the board early on, they are also easier to get out safely. (For now mostly ignore gambits, they subvert these rules for a material loss hoping to gain a positional advantage and recoup the sacrificed piece, side note any opening that intentionally sacs a piece is a gambit)Ĭontrol the center, everything you do early game should be to control the center, if you control the center you have more room to move, which means your opponent has less. And they are pretty simple to understand. Really you want to focus on opening principles. This is kind of like asking what is the best soup to eat on a cold day, a lot of it comes down to your personal feel for the game.Īlso, are you actually asking the right question? Many new players get caught up in opening strategy, but really that's the wrong question.
