waiting , wanna learn.

1. Rapidly develop all pieces

The main goal at opening is to develop pieces and reach castle as quick as possible. The player, who finishes the development first, gains the initiative.


2. DEVELOP Knights before Bishops

While Bishop can control several squares from their original position, knights dominate only their neighbour squares and take longer to reach the opponents field.

3. DON'T move the same piece twice during opening.

4. DON'T make unnecessary pawn moves during opening. Generally, moving pawns is suitable when the player aims to open diagonals for the Queen or Bishops or occupy the center.

5. DON'T check if not necessary, A check that can be easily defended is not necessary, Most checks during opening can easily be defended by moves that favour development.



Will drop more soon

obainojazz: are there Scrabble threads here

responses are too dull to engender one on Nairaland

ZACHIE:

ok sir

joywendy: yeah, he did

Pls when using the Tutor mode of Lucas chess, what is the implication of those points. Eg. When I move a piece it shows "Tutor's suggestion +50 points, Your move +200 points"

Nigerian players have proven to be as strong as grand masters. Ajele had a winning position against GM Sriram but the GM offered a draw and he accepted...Maybe as a sign of respect for the GM title. Not a bad performance
