What's the most Aggressive Opening?
Sort:
I'm not sure what opening to use I mostly use D4, and so on. But I'm getting better and the openning is less effective on better players. :( So what's the most Aggressive Openning out there????
Youre rated 459.
The basics of each phase of the game
Opening:
Follow the Opening principles:
-
Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5
-
Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key
-
Complete your development before moving a piece twice or starting an attack.
-
Move pieces not pawns.
-
Castle
-
Connect your rooks
-
By move 12, you should have connected your Rooks, or be about to do so.
Middle game:
When you have completed the Opening Principles, you are now at the middle game. Now you need to formulate a middle game plan. The middle game is a very complicated part of a chess game. A simple way to develop a middle game plan is to perform the following steps.
-
Scan your opponents 5th, and 6th ranks (3rd, and 4th if your black)
-
Look for weak pawns, and or weak squares.
-
Weak pawns and squares are Pawns, and squares that cannot be defended by another Pawn.
-
Knights are excellent pieces on weak squares.
-
When deciding on weak squares, and weak Pawns to attack, the closer to the center the better
End game:
Start with the basics:
-
Learn basic mates – KQ vs. K, KR vs. K, KRR vs. K
-
Learn Opposition, and Key Squares
-
Learn basic King and Pawn endings
Pre Move Checklist:
1. Make sure all your pieces are safe.
2. Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board.
3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board.
4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece.

Did OP just say that d4 doesn't work against better players?

Yes...a 459 player is already having to change his opening.
This is pretty aggressive, no?

Danish gambit is super-aggressive. You won't see this much at top levels, but can be effective if you know how to use it and your opponent is not sharp defensively.
Cool MGleason!
God spawn I use this app for training, I'm more for playing chess and actually seeing my opponent, sorry I wast specific.
The Scholar's Mate is pretty aggressive.
For someone seeking help with choosing openings, I usually bring up Openings for Amateurs by Pete Tamburro (2014).

I believe that it is possible to see a fair portion of the beginning of Tamburro's book by going to the Mongoose Press site.

"Each player should choose an opening that attracts him. Some players are looking for a gambit as White, others for Black gambits. Many players that are starting out (or have bad memories) want to avoid mainstream systems, others want dynamic openings, and others want calm positional pathways. It’s all about personal taste and personal need.
For example, if you feel you’re poor at tactics you can choose a quiet positional opening (trying to hide from your weakness and just play chess), or seek more dynamic openings that engender lots of tactics and sacrifices (this might lead to more losses but, over time, will improve your tactical skills and make you stronger)." - IM Jeremy Silman (January 28, 2016)
"Building a repertoire ... we will take the idealized situation of someone starting from square one ... The first step is to think about your personal style. Do you prefer open, tactical positions or closed, strategic positions? Does an attack on your king make you nervous, or are you happy so long as you have a counter-attack? Do you prefer main lines, or something slightly offbeat? Next, look at the various openings available, and see which ones fit in with your personal style. ..." - GM John Nunn (1998)
