3 Tips to Play Better in Chess Openings

In general, that’s a good way to evaluate a Pawn Sac in the Opening.
- Get ready to Break the Rules:

- Develop with tempo if possible:
Developing is good, but if you can develop and at the same time get a tempo, it makes a huge difference in the Opening.
- Don't trade if it helps your opponent develop or improve his position:
