I know I'm rely bad but I just started.
chess openings
Sort:
Honestly a newer player will have problems with openings... A chess opening does better for a person that knows it more, so if you play some one who has studied it at one time it may look bad. What you should do is find the opening that fits your style then work with it getting better and once you have an idea on how it does work on your other tactics and endgames and when you get up around 1000-1200 look at other ways to play the opening or try new ideas. Remember that even the greatest grandmasters were kicked around a lot until they buckled down and studied how they play their games and found problems with what they were doing and made sure they did it less often.
thanks for the advise I would like more thank you

If you're low rated then you shouldn't be looking at openings at all. You should be looking at tactics now. When you play make sure you develop your pieces, try to control the center of the board (the squares e4, e5, d4, d5), castle to keep your king safe, try not to move the same pieces twice in the opening unless you have a good reason to, don't move to many pawns early on and when you see a good move remember it, and try to find something better.
thanks I will some times do that

Advice for new Players
Attack the centre of the board
Protect your king
Dont leave pieces unprotected
Once your ahead at least 3 pts ,swap pieces and win on the endgame
For a new player, I think you shouldn't worry much about the opening. Concentrate more on learning tactics and strategies. Until you get to an intermediate level, I suggest you play the Italian Game:
From there, just develop pieces and castle your king. Then, use your middle game tactics and strategies to progress.
I used the Italian game as my first opening.
Good advise. Thank you benedictus.
I think the four knights is also a good option for beginners.
Just follow the basic recipe for openings until as others have said, you are reasonably ok with the basic mates, endgames, middlegame strategy & simple tactical motifs.
Some sound opening principles are:
Open with a centre pawn
Don't move the same piece twice unless it gives you a solid advantage
Only make 3 or 4 pawn moves in the first 10 moves
Plan to take a hold of the 4 central squares
Develop knights before bishops
Don't bring your queen out early & preferably not beyond the 3rd rank, or she can be pushed back with a loss of time
Likewise, try to develop with threats when possible
Castle as early as possible, preferably on the kingside
Don't obsess with theory - just play solid moves and your opening should take care of itself
The above are only general guidlines - there are always exceptions - but if you follow them then you shouldn't go far wrong in the opening.
When I tried to do a good chess opening then I started doing it then I found out it docent work on people so I do other stuff but they don't work ether so thats why I'm not that good. pinmaster
