Some Openings In Chess
Hello everyone! Welcome to my new blog - "Some Openings In Chess"! Here I will talk about some popular openings in chess.
Here are the most popular chess openings:
#1. The Italian Game
The Italian game begins with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4. The point is to control the center quickly with your pawn and knight and then put your bishop on it’s most dangerous square. You are also preparing to castle to safety.
#2. The Sicilian Defense
The Sicilian Defense is the most popular choice of aggressive players with the black pieces. Often White will play 2.Nf3 and 3.d4 which will gain central space.
#3. The French Defense
The French Defense is one of the first strategic openings every chess player should learn. After e5 (now or later), both sides will have pawn chains. The one problem of the French Defense for Black is that the c8-bishop can be very hard to develop.
#4. The Ruy-Lopez
The Ruy Lopez is one of the oldest and most classic of all openings. It is named after a Spanish bishop who wrote one of the first books on chess. The Ruy Lopez attacks the knight which defends the e5-pawn. This way, White hopes to overwhelm Black's center one day.
#5. The Slav Defense
The Slav Defense is a very solid opening which defends the d5-pawn securely. Black's pieces can all develop to natural squares, but Black will usually have a little less space than White.
