the classic kings pawn opening

the classic kings pawn opening

the classic kings pawn opening is a time-tested opening that novice players can use to help them gain experience in the game of chess. this is a great way to control the center of the board and allows you to have many avenues in which to mount an attack against your opponent. at the same time it also allows you to develop a very tough defensive stance that your opponent may have difficulty breaking through without suffering a tremendous loss in pieces.

the kings pawn opening consists of first moving both the d and e pawns forward two spaces to d4 and e4. this is followed by bringing out both bishops to the sides of the pawns at c4 and f4. the next step is to move both knights out to c3 and f3. castling your king and rook on either the kings side or the queens side follows this move. once this is done you can move the queen to either e2 or d2. now you can move your second rook over to d1 or e1 depending on which side you castled to.

of course all of this assumes that your opponent will allow you the luxury of moving your pieces into these exact positions. often times they will not give you this opportunity, but if you have the chance to execute even most of this opening, you can place your self at a major advantage. all of these pieces carefully compliment each other in this opening scenario. you have many different lanes in which to attack from and have total dominance over the center of the board. having control over the center of the board is one of the basic tactics that many players use in chess. give the kings pawn opening a try and see if it works for you.

The kings pawn is the most popular move in chess, begginners use it, Intermediates use it, and experts use it as well, and I play that move for every game that I have played in white

usually the best way to get the kind of position you described is by playing the scotch game e4 e5 nf3 nc6 d4. White gets both a pawn and a knight in the center and is a good way to keep the initiative. d4 is just as good though.

thanks for this useful information

I think this is just wrong. Even if the opponent allows these moves, which is very very unlikely, it still depends on his chosen setup whether or not your pieces are any good (Bc4 and Bf4 are ALWAYS the best squares? No way)

This has simply no relation to how an actual game of chess is played.

this as an ideal opening if you can execute but I think most times in opening Knights should be preferred to devolep early instead of Bishiops because they have the ability to jump over the pieces while all peices are available there in the chess board.

mostly  use this . move  but  ibelieve to  test all begin moves  either pawn or knight.

I can confidently say that assuming nothing is threatened tactically (or else hanging), and assuming no major blunders (creating weak points) by my opponent, I'll take Pe4/Pd4/Bc4/Bf4/Nc3/Nf3 over any other set-up.

I disagree on move order, though.  Knights before Bishops is usually best.

In the Alekhine's, White can play the Four Pawn Attack and have pawns on c4, d4, e5, and f4 with Nf3 and Nc6:but not the early B moves.  As others have pointed out, it depends on what Black has been doing while you make these moves.

in my opinion these kind of opennings end with disaster and there are many loopeholes in it!!
