Best Chess Opening

Are you tired of feeling like you’re constantly on the back foot in your chess games? Do you long to have the upper hand from the very first move? Well, look no further.

As White, you have the advantage of moving first, and with the right opening, you can set the stage for a victorious game.

In this blog post, we’re taking a look at "The Italian Game" one of the best chess openings for white that will have your opponents struggling to keep up.

So, grab your chess board and get ready to up your game with this top-notch opening.

1. The Italian Game
 
Arising after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4, the Italian system, is one of the first openings a beginner is introduced to. 

It follows the opening principles in a model example-like fashion – Controlling the center, developing minor pieces, castling, developing the queen, and then connecting the rooks. 

However, don’t mistake its simplicity for the lack of potential. On a higher level, White has many options to fight for an advantage. For this reason, many elite grandmasters play it as a part of their repertoire with 1.e4.

For beginners, something like the Italian game is a great way to start with White pieces.

A final piece of advice would be to prepare your openings thoroughly. No matter what opening you choose, the greater your knowledge is, the better you will handle the resulting positions.
